I figured that must be what was wrong with it but seeing it in a picture shows just just much damage thats had.

I quote "The car has had previous accident damage and we are not selling it to go on the road but could be easily brought up to an MOT standard by the buyer. "

 

A half truth at best.  Disgraceful.

The problem is that it probably would pass an MOT with that chassis damage thumbsdown

actually they do, this was their quote .......

 

We break lots of lotus's but have never seen such a bad repair thats been returned to the road but we needed lights and a few bits for our new track toy so we bought it as a spare and will be cutting the chassis up once its been stripped

so they didn't cut the chassis up, instead they are trying to sell it on ebay and state in their advert

 

could be easily brought up to an MOT standard by the buyer.

 translated to mean, someone can / will be ripped off with this dog :glare:

was not aware you could re-chassis a vehicle that was written off, did a member not have this problem a while ago (I think it was red) where it was a Mint car built with the best bits from 2 or 3 cars but could not get it registered?
