Hello everyone, have just registered.
I have two cars, on Brit one Yank.
Had been looking for an old british car, an Alvis was my preference.
The alternative was a Ford Crown Victoria, Police Interceptor model.
After searching for about 9 months an intertesting car appeared, A 1996 Lincoln Continental and was eventually sold at a very low price.
I decided to contact the seller, and he told me it never sold. The guys misses took one look at it and said "Your not parking that Monster on the drive!".
A quick run up to Manchester and saw that it was a solid motor, and very nice too. Luxury leather seats. 4.6l V8 32v DOHC. Air ride suspension.
Seller tried to bump the price by over ÂŁ2k, but I stuck at the previous Ebay selling price, and it was on its way back to Notts.
However there was a Problem, we measured the car and had already cleared out the garage to accomodate a prospective purchase.
We went wrong somewhere as the Lincoln would not fit in the garage? This left me with a problem, an empty garage!
Still searching Ebay, I came across the Alvis TA14 at a reasonable price. I suspected it was another Ebay motor scam. so did not take any action.
This was quickly confirmed when the listing quickly dissapeared. However I did make contact with the seller ready for the scam line.
It turned out to be a genuine car which the seller was willing to sell. Another run over to Matlock, and the car was purchased.
The Alvis squeezed alongside the Lincoln, on the drive.
Look forward to contributing to the Forum
