The site is no longer accessible--I got this message from ebay:
"The item you requested (2491242552) is invalid, still pending, or no longer in our database. Please check the number and try again. If this message persists, the item has either not started and is not yet available for viewing, or has expired and is no longer available."
Perhaps someone again alerted ebay about the car's bona fides or maybe they caught it themselves this time.
I plan to be driving down to Staunton Va. this Friday to go to the Southern Virginia British Car Club Show and wrote the seller to see if I could stop by and see the car--haven't heard back from him yet.
