That is possibly the worst advert i've ever seen...if that bhp is genuine which i doubt, wheres the explanation as to why this car has achieved a percentage increase of 40% over standard bhp...

Too get that kind of money people will want to know details!!

Disclaimer: if it is legit...probs good buy... :P

No pics of the engine bay, which is a shame as it must look pretty good (ITBs?) to get that kind of power. No list of any of the mods whatsoever either, which again should be an interesting (and long!) list. Either someone doesn't know how to advertise it or the bhp figure is just a figment of their imagination.

how do people possibly expect to sell things with such poor descriptions...

I think this top trumps that advert.

One photo. No mention of service history or condition. Broken clutch. And it's a long long way from almost anywhere.

Yes, but in fairness it isn't that surprising to sell something as utilitarian as a van in the same way that you might sell a 2nd hand washing machine. However, one of the greatest hot hatches in the world... no excuse!

Some ads you see are hilarious. My favourite car word of all time being 'MINT' 9 times out of 10 it ain't.

Yes, a much better written ad this time - not sure why he didn't use the same for the Ebay one. I still don't see it making that sort of power with just some cams in it though :winkey:

It says it's got throttle bodies though but you'd have thought a lot more details & pics of those would have been added in the advert as they're quite a big deal

Yeah from his advert i had decided he had ITB's but it's still not clear so maybe still a fail....and still a tad vague...

If I was advertising that car I'd be mentioning every single detail of the itb conversion, especially what ecu is being used and pics of the RR graphs because without those things it just screams........
