You're right it does seem to be a bit too cheap, maybe it's a typo?? Probably best to e-mail the guy :?

I enquired about this and it seems to be a genuine seller.

He sent a bundle of pictures but it does need a lot of cosmetic work as described. Looks like it has had paint b4 over the decals etc.

At the end of the day difficult to judge without seeing it in the flesh. At that money it will need money spending on it!

I would say it would need a camblet doing, so big cost unless you do it youself, the paint work is also expenive, looking at like between 500 and 1000 on just paint work depending on where you take it.
And he says he's not done anything to it for 5 years?

Would be worth buying though, doing the work yourself you could have a nice cheap williams.

Check its been serviced in those 5 years, it did say he hadn't done many miles so might need all the fluids and a full service, more expence here...

And its coming upto 90k so would check things like suspension and engine mounts, make sure it doesnt have any issues here, looking at 400 to 500 quid if you need new shocks springs engines mounts etc (just in parts from renault)

5 year old rubber on it too.. does it need new tyres? they may be legal but are they in a good condition £200 for some decent ones

So a cheap car might not always be cheap ;)
