davie,
The seller is a salesman. IMHO it is not appropriate to call the customer a dickhead whatever questions he asks.

Works fine for me:
Make: MK
The enquiry is complete
The vehicle details for KNN 873V are:
Date of Liability 01 03 2010
Date of First Registration 01 08 2007
Year of Manufacture 1979
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1599CC
CO2 Emissions 0g/Km
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour YELLOW
Sounds like a case of mistaken identity by the dealer, he is assuming it's an indy when it's an MK locost, not may know they made them
(after all it will say MK on the V5).
The locost is the original start if the this kitcar building firm, when I bought our indy kit they used to make locosts but not advertise it, (might
still be the case).
Like said buyer beware as normal, and look at the other items the seller sells, he is a dealer..

I think if the guy is selling and by definition inviting interest in his car then he should
1) Accept and answer to his best ability honestly.
2) Not treat the person who's money you want with disrespect.
3) call a potential buyer a d***head and worse publish so all can see.
So now we are having some fun off the back of his attitude.
All good to me 
Chris.

Couldn't agree more.
But why try to antagonise the guy? Maybe he's having a bad day.

Hey mate,
I had a look at this car in early january. It's in bad condition and needs lots of work. It had a xflow engine which didn't run when I
viewed it. Fibreglass panels are cracked and have gel coat missing.
All I can say is that it needs alot of work, also it looked like it had been out in the wet alot because the floor pan was quite rusty and seats
needed replacing
thanks for the heads up thats why this web site is so good!

agreed & i dont think any of the questions i asked were daft and would be the exact questions i would expect to be asked if i wrote a advert as
vague as that!

Except I'm sure you wouldn't, and neither would anybody else who possessed basic literacy skills and who actually wanted to sell
something.

Lewis,
I agree that your questions were normal and reasonable and that the response was exterme and offensive.
The thread and question were reasonable as were 90% of the replies, I was only critisisng the pointless childish bit in the middle.
You have every right to be upset but why others felt the need to flame the seller?
Sorry if you felt I was attacking you personally.
Davie
