ID swop van on Minor buy/sell fb site

Post by POMMReg »

Advertised as 68, but most definetly 1971/2.

Buyer beware... Roy would say it better in latin....

Probably breaking forum rules, however goes against my ethics to NOT point it out to prospective buyers.
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!

Well, I'll have a go: caveat emptor
Probably breaking forum rules
Whilst I'm moderating, pointing out criminal activity (which is what an ID swap is) will not be deleted.

Guy who runs the site deleted my comment.

No qualms about some poor soul buying a duffer, not a responsible stance is it.

I should hold my tongue in future(?)🤣🤣

Thought a Caveat was something worn around the neck?🤔

XLW 505G should be; MAV5 252xxx/cab nos 199xxx/engine 342xxx

However,THIS re-incarnation - NO wood packing in B posts nor hole between wiper/dash switches - means it is post 3/71, numberwise approx; 311xxx/246xxx/75xxx or later.

Buyer beware!

Probably get a backlash for this post, but there's no way it's legal.

I wish you could work out how to post without somehow quoting yourself and then mixing the latest comment into the quote.
I'm afraid I'm having trouble following this.... :o

Make sure your new comments are after the final Square brackets, so for quoting it would be like this [/quote]

The basic rule is anything in Square brackets is turned on by the relative word in the first brackets and the same word prefixed with a '/' to turn it off in the subsequent brackets.

So, I'm going to add a screen shot of this to this post, and you'll see that these comments, including the 3 Smilies, are all after the Square brackets that close the quote...

You won't see the image link, because I'll have taken the image before I upload it.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
