Oh you managed to get DVLA to work?  It wouldn't for me, said it was down for maintenance or some such.  Thank you kind sir.

It often says that, but refreshing the page is usually enough to make it work.

one thing to watch out for is

whatever genius* at the DVLA did the last update made it so that the "error, somethings fucking fucked m8" screen got its own URL

https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/ServiceUnavailable?locale=en

so when you get booted there, even refreshing the page wont get you out of it, even if the webpage is working again

just something to watch out for!

thats the only picture too, so not exactly trying hard to sell it, are they??

The advert is definitely a scam. Someone's littered eBay with fake listings of cars previous sold a few weeks ago, & listed them with really unusual starting prices.

I've no idea how to price a mk1 Cav nowadays. They were utterly worthless about 15 years ago, just as Manta prices were starting to take off.

Several much shonkier examples than that brown one have fetched much higher prices on eBay in the last couple of years, but I suppose that without a thorough inspection for car pox, the pictures don't give you a particularly good idea of how fucked they are.

This has been in this thread before- about 5 years ago, then it was described as a Trooper, which is presumably what the logbook says.

i saw it on a trailer on the M1shortly after its appearance on here, it looked weird.

It's down as an Isuzu Bighorn. Weird thing. That body is worth ££ - it probably needs reuniting with some proper Rolls parts.

They have all manner of monitoring systems in place for sellers, most of which rely on the honesty of buyers when filling out feedback / star ratings, but it looks like buyers can do whatever they like!  As long as eBay are getting their money, I doubt they care. 

They even allow the sale of vehicle V5 / log books like this, as 'memorabilia' but don't get me started on that

his attempt to hide the info on the V5 is just laughable

its registration number is UJX373X :) 

just so the registration UJX373X is now in a searchable part of the internet, should anyones Escort go missing and suddenly UJX 373X appears, looking a lot like your missing one!
