I'm really not sure what peoples suspicions are of this car? Apart from the strange added glove boxes and somebody's attempt to fit the windscreen(s) using the wrong rubber I can't see much incorrect about it? The bonnet certainly isn't a "van" one as it has the holes present for the side mouldings.......

On second inspection I agree about the bonnet mouldings... simply missing. Viewing it on my phone so not easy to tell for certain, but the bonnet itself appears to have the curved trailing edge (which seems to be almost touching the wiper spindles) to match the curved bulkhead line of a 'Series 3' or 'Series 5' car. The car also appears to have a curved bulkhead edge. Series 2s had V-shaped bulkhead edges and bonnet trailing edges.

It looks perfectly standard Series11 to me. I think the fact that the bonnet isn't fully closed doesn't help the appearance. The wiper spindles are also correct for a Series 11.

Same seller. 335 vehicles listed. Seems they're all £36 starting price and no reserve. All 'being sold on behalf of a family member'. At least 3 of them were on about two months ago. Different seller name. Same description (family member etc). 99p start. The turquoise/cream Austin A50 was on a couple weeks ago and got taken off by eBay admin.

And it's back... and reported!
It's quite clever that the user inserts text as an image to avoid ebay filters.

It's now been relisted 3 times today. So many scammers on ebay, proceed with caution.

Convertible listed yet again this morning... he's persistent!

He's also listed a Minor van this morning... twice, under two different user names (same email address for both). One of them now coming up 'Listing not found'.
