Mexico or not Mexico ?

[aaron1980]

I've just seen this on ebay item number 171550641874

It's says it is a Mexico with v5? The same car was on there 200 miles away a week or so ago saying it was a replica with tax exempt v5? Number 261653496327

Seems a little odd

clearly not a mexico! either someone who already owned a mexico v5 bought it, or the seller bought a mexico v5 and re listed it at twice the price. either way i would give it a wide berth and find a genuine car. the value of these cars nowadays is encouraging all sorts of unethical activity, and in my opinion the real enthusiast should stay away.

cheers, ian.

The first listing I read as a standard shell that someone is selling with a Mexico v5.

The second listing is probably the shell with its original v5

My assessment? Second seller has bought from first seller and added a Mexico V5 in an attempt to double his money quickly. Either way, it isn't a Mexico.
