Pretty sure that's a chain but whoever is watching it won't care about that. Or the gearbox. They'll be interested in the roof, with it having neither sunroof or t-tops. 

They used a completely different engine for the automatic? Weird... well, you live and learn.

That's the one from Anglia Car Auctions last months online only auction. It made £1370 plus whatever online fees on top.

Edited to add : wouldn't have been able to get the car until 22/06  and the ebay ad was edited on 17/07  and we are being told he's moved house and lost the V5  in that time.

I would say this flipper has got the V5 (not in his name) and when asked will bullshit that he's owned the car since 2018.

Nice colour, nice car, but why does it have an herbaceous border growing in the radiator grille?  ?

The twin electric fans do look a little green.

What do they use it for? Lamping?

Even a blind rabbit would run away from that.

I'd love a Kei. Does anyone have any experience of driving one. An actual 660 3 pot & a CVT box on real English roads?

My Innocenti is mechanically a kei (although with a manual 'box) and I used that as a daily for about a year and a half.  They're perfectly usable, you just have to plan a bit* in advance if you want to overtake anything.

Surely this has to be worth a punt at £395

But What's under the bonnet I hear you say?

That's just crying out for a rotten MX5 transplant!  Hmm, projects you'll never do, pt40...

Doesn't seem that long ago you could get a running and driving A40 for £395.  :-(
