Advert doesn't smell right - wouldn't offer any money without viewing and definitely wouldn't bother viewing unless he came up with
some decent replies to sensible questions about the car.
Don't have any first hand knowledge though and I could be completely wrong - just don't like the look of the advert.

Asked if it was categorised after the ding at the track, nothing. A bit suspect, price good enough to install some intrigue but the 'barn'
find then, it been his for five years.....thinks it bs.

I have a correct Megabusa with early bodywork and the only difference I can observe from the pics is the dry sump, completely different from mine in
fact I cannot detect one. It must have one (ask AB) and buying the bits is expensive. It is not mentioned in the advert. Also it may not have started
out as a Megabusa? are all the bits correct diff ratio etc?
The battery is not taking any chances on the electric reverse flattening it!!
"track damaged at some point " if this involved the chassis then was it changed or repaired?
Also what condition engine + gearbox these engines are very expensive to replace budget 3.5K if not.
If the answer to some of these points is positive then it may be a bargain.

is no response. Megabusa and jr15!! Good effort :-)

12 offers now aswell,
Hmmmm not sure about this one,
As said cant see any dry sump there and that's an issue,
Could be a money pit?

+1 if it doesn't sound right then it probably isn't.

A barn find with current mot?
also why spares or repairs, as above smells fishy

That could just be ebay listing tactics, i.e. adding key words to the title so it appears in more searches.
The reg doesnt appear to be linking to a westfield on a tax check, but it could just be the name wrong on v5.

Mountain ash is between Swansea and Cardiff, my brother goes that way regularly unfortunately he knows less than nothing about cars. I could always
load him up with your questions?

I live about 30 mins from Mounatin Ash, so if somebody is serious about the car I could go up and take a look. Let me know.
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
