On the subject of ebay, who goes where on ebay to find cars?
I always go to the Classic Car section.............
|
| |
 I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like. |

First port of call for me is always the VW section of the classics.
Then I just normally check the stuff in the normal classic section which is nearing the end.

Classics : New Today A couple of searches in the whole of the car section for things like Datsun etc. Then through the whole list of normal cars, with from 1970 to 1989 as the date filter. Then its off to ebay Italy  |

Never tried the date filter thing in all cars - I'll have to give that one a go later.

I tend to do a search for 70-89 for those unloved 80s cars and classics that end up listed in the wrong section!

Basically, I just pop in whatever happens to be in my (day-dreaming) head and see what happens! Then I do a bit of refining to see if anything matching the pic in my head exists. Some days its volkswagens, others its tanks....
BTW - top eBaying there Jabbo. It's good to know you've been working hard in my abscence ;D ;D. (ps - course was d-u-l-l but at least I won't get fried on the tracks any more!!).

That's a bad sign, if it's genuine then maybe it's engine is clapped out or it's crash damaged, it's the same with a good few rare cars, if it seems like it's dirt cheap, make sure it isn't just a dressed up liability or money pit.
Or a clever fake.
