Also on ebay with a £7½K start, (unbid).

Paul has paid for pre-check which details a Cat A write off in Sept 2020, it has had a change of ownership, been through an MOT test and been taxed since being written off. 

I've emailed vendor who claims it's an Irish import which has been given the registration from a written off Volvo. He says it's all in the description - it's not. Seems unfeasibly cheap to me given the appearance of the car, I'd want to make more detailed enquiries.

Yup not a million miles away from me at all, so just shout if I can assist

The vendor has messaged me through ebay with the following:


New message from: bellegarde1.0796 (174Turquoise Star)

Good morning Tim,

I am writing in connection with the investigation raised on the above vehicle registration.

The vehicle that you have check has a short digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), these are now usually 17 digits. Short VINs are not unique to one vehicle and can be associated with other vehicles/plant machinery, some of which may be subject to outstanding finance, stolen and insurance loss interests.

I can confirm that we have fully checked our records and can confirm that the VOLVO 340 GL currently registered as a scrap marker on the HPI is definitely not related to the vehicle registration RSX514M that you are checking.

Therefore, we are unfortunately unable to amend your report. I hope this confirmation is of use to your enquiries. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards

1964 MG 1100 Mk 1 - Rare variant - very well presented - 32,000 miles needs nothing other than some minor detailing under the bonnet - well priced at £7,500

Only because he's re-advertised it 

MG 1100. Notts. £13½K.
1967. Low mileage. Extensively restored. Long MOT. Impressive MOT history with 2 fails only on less important issues.




Whilst it appears to be a very nice example that is decent 1300 GT money. Is it worth that? I can see a few flaws, more experienced eyes than mine will pick out more. Concours money for a sub-concours example?

Isolated the hydrolastics.....
