I know, it popped up on ebay at the weekend then dissappeared, probably got taken off by ebay as it didn\'t even mention it was a mazda in the first listing.
 
there might be a good car under all that crap? but £4000 is a bit hopeful

Get rid of the stupid led lines under the brake vents, the Ferrari badges and rear \'Mondial\' sticker/thingy and the stupid grey painted strips - and it aint half bad.
 
We saw a 300zx in Bedford once with Ferrari badges - Why oh why to people do this ??
 
Hopefully the Mazda badge that\'s shaped similar to the Ferrari one would replace the side badges, wheels are easily enough sorted...
 
But 4K - hells for a bit more you could have Pete\'s Lambo Orange one and get a load of spare parts and a superb car to boot... :cheers

I especially like the part that says " this car has been treated like a true classic- WITH RESPECT."

Also he says the sticky backed plastic tat has been "professionally fitted"

Super fail

Clean import cab with no rust and a fairly recent rebuild.

Assuming the above is correct then it  may be pretty reasonable

actually, its an auto...gash

"A UNIQUE CLASSIC CAR WITH SUPER CAR LOOKS AND PERFORMANCE TO MATCH THE FERRARI THIS REPLICATES"

sorry if i\'m being dumb but which ferrari model does it replicate? must be a rare one?
 
"IT GATHERS A CROWD EVEN IN B&Q CAR PARKS"

because B&Q carparks are known for for their fickle crowds

Post by: bonobo on April 04, 2011, 07:33:31 PM
a quick search and it\'s obvious! this has got to be the car it replicates so well.
you can tell by the matching grills on the rear quarter.

The buyer (if there is one) can claim all their cash back as its being mis-sold as a 2.6, its an FC engine, so its classed as a 2.4 :)

I think the most valuable thing on the car is the soft top cover, and maybe the battery lid if it has it :D

Wow did they even do auto cabriolet jap imports? lol and also, how the heck does it have a sunroof? haha

Also look at the state of his house.  That out-of-style round window in the front porch and that faux balustrade on the flat roof.  And that garden gate!  Oh boy.  That man has taste.  Not.

Also note those pictures are 3 years old!  Could look like an even bigger bag of w**k by now.

I think we should get all our verts out and go and pay homage to this "PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE LEFT IN THE UK".  Arf.

What a prat.  This sort of seller on fleece-u-bay really pi**es me off - complain about anything on their over-egged item and they\'ll cry long and loud to ebay about how *you* are the scammer not them! :3Confused

Bear in mind there may well be another angle to this.

He may be well aware that his ad is full of, what shall we say, slight misrepresentation however he might just get the one guy who doesn\'t know what the car really is and make a very profitable sale and laugh.

So, is he stupid or trying to be very clever?

That is so hilarious...the description is bringing the devil out in me a little now...may be I should ask a few searching questions via Ebay???

Does the man not realise that the car draws a crowd as an item of ridicule? Well it\'s not the car more the Ferrari badges and what the OWNER has done to it...words fail....

You lot are so cruel, this car is years of hard work for the 57 year old, 18 stone stroke victim! (prob to do with all the power and attention the beast gets when he does take it out- in the car, not the fact he is 18 stone of prime muscle)

years went by in search of such a rare beast,japan has run out!,only a few left in america (none on the road prob all in bits), and then he has only one \'prime\' example from our motherland.
we should bow at his feet and kiss his shoes to buy this car, and what a que it will be with over 300 watchers he now has.


edit just had a good laugh going through his buying history.

QuoteI HAVE HAD TO RELIST AS I HAD BREACHED THE RULES BY REFERRING TO THIS AS A FERRARI REPLICA IN THE TITLE [...] BUT I DO TAKE THEIR POINT
What as in it is neither a ferrari nor a replica? :Hammer


Don\'t forget he expects it to go for waaaay *more* than £4,000...
QuoteIf there are no bids before an hour before the end of the auction, it will certainly be withdrawn and placed on autotrader near to its real value


I\'ll be sad to see this auction end - it\'s an endless source of amusement.

I worry that he\'s bought quite a few different rust treatments over the recent months - nothing to do with the cars he\'s seeling I guess ;)
 
It\'s a shame it\'s too expensive to rescue - I bet it will end up getting scrapped and unloved, which I hate to see.

I shouldn\'t say...but I felt compelled to enquire. Whoops. I feel really bad now :(

He is being straight up (he really knows very little about RX7\'s) :(. On a positive note. Decals should come off. It does have a low mileage. It is true that finding a JDM cab in Japan is almost impossible these days... I am forever being told by importers.

I am still relatively speechless though..

However I don\'t like THAT one, lol...
 
Although it\'s very hard to tastefully customise the outside of a 2nd gen... Anyone got any GOOD example for a comparison? :)

Well i guess the saving grace is, it looks in good nick. But £5k ? Someone\'s been living on mars. I\'ll never understand why you\'d want to badge up a car as something it isn\'t, i mean putting \'porsche\' on a rover 200 is amusing and i get that. But why on a lovely TII :(

Someone go up there, tell him about himself, give him £2k (and a slap) and save it from its (poor) attempted replica prison.

Or not.
