That's burgundyben's on IB.com, full build thread on there too. A lot of work and effort has gone into for the price.

That's capitalism for you
Perhaps he should have spent more time at school learning to write and present though?
Not a lot of attention went into this advert....

It was that quick onto Ebay I don't think the seller had time to write the description.

When I asked what smoksing was via ebay he told me: 'sking mate. blue smoke mate. u cme c it'
Obviously a moonlighting Professor of Literacy trying to make his meagre funds eek out until the end of the xmas term... poor over-educated lamb

E-mailed the guy who's flipping the SC on eBay with:
"Dear cookiemonsteralan,
How long have you owned the car? When did it start smoking? How much has it been driven since? Thank you!"
And got the reply:
"we are dealers so not long dont know how much is been driven
- cookiemonsteralan"
I can't help reading the reply with an accent like off the "meerkat.com" advert – Simples!

Hi
Here's a video of it being thrashed around Silverstone, probably where it started "smokesting don't you know"

Seller added the following in-depth technical analysis:
NEEDS ATTENTION DO TO ENGINE SMOKING
Absolute bargain then...

Aha! Now I understand why there has been a flurry of interest this week.
One chap has just been, another coming this afternoon, one tomorrow night and one next weekend.
There is still goodly room to haggle, I have an arm in plaster and the insurance is due....
