Makes me wonder... somethings not quite right

[seabreeze2]

Just seen this ....http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Camper-Van...ryZ14256QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem on flea bay... J' reg with square bumpers, high fr indicators and large rear vents and Im sure Viking wernt about in '71... so whats wrong with this picture :?

 

[Araon]

Curiouser and curiouser "ringer alert" is sounding in my head....

He may have had some extensive bodywork done and replaced the incorrect year (unlikely)

 

[8ballbug]

thats a 'hum dinger' someones been buying v5's and plates :roll:

 

[Araon]

Looks like it... that tax free issue again...

 

[Shaggy]

Might be worth asking him some pressing question, just to see what's what. who knows it might be all ok *cough cough*

 

[Araon]

done it waiting on a response now....

 

[VWAIRCOOLED]

They probably don't even know anythings wrong,I bet they bought it like that,otherwise why put it for sale somewhere like ebay and think you will get away with it?

 

[Shaggy]

I do agree with that looks like a nice van though

 

[Araon]

yeah thats my thinking too....hes been running it for 4 years hes in the crap if the tax man gets wind

 

[jabbo]

Seems to becoming more and more common lately.

 

[slammedkustom]

bit if a short description too, espesially if they have had the van four years.
im thinking its a dealer

 

[Lang]

I agree, that's had it's plates swapped for tax purposes :shock: My 72 has viking roof but low front indicators with the larger rear lights.

My Viking is a 72 x-over big rear lights, had flared arches, High indicators wrap around bumpers a very mixed up van :?:

 

[Araon]

just gets worse the guy on the phone admits its a '74' :shock:

Just came out bold as brass and said no its not the early bay but a 73 model 74.....

Though very tidy some poor sod could get burnt quite badly on this......the tax man will always get you.......

When I took my van for a mot earlier this year they were very thorough when it came to checking chassis numbers and cross referencing with their computer, makes you wonder about the mot as well :?: :?:

 

[Mike F]

The guy is worth winding up. He got fed up with my first line of questioning then replied to a second more devious question asking me to phone.

The more questions we ask the better I reckon.

 

[Araon]

Yeah I think hes getting a little tired of me :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Clem]

Hes only got 4 feedbacks from selling of which one is neutral. Hes only 'publishing' requests to view.
Its a late bus, and is a Viking as its a panel van.
Surely a plate swap.

 

[Justin & Muttley]

Didn't sell which is good news - wonder if he'll re-list it (more honestly this time?)?
