Mk2 series 2 on ebay

[Andy M]

Hi All,

A Mk2 series 2 has just been sold on ebay and the write up says the car has been inspected by the LCR. I have to inform the membership that the car has not and never has been seen by the LCR.

If there is no letter of valididity with this vehicle it has not been seen! Although we have known of it's whereabouts and know the original owner.
This is poetic license by the advertiser/current seller!

Is it this one just sold by Chris - is there another register other than the LCR?

"Car has been viewed and confirmed genuine by the lotus register."

Hi

Well Andy if you know its where about-s and you know its owner you should have to spoken to either one of us to find out why i put this in my add . The original owner of whom i bought it off is the gentleman told me YOU in person had inspected the car and said you could not believe how good the shell was " your exact words".

I have known Gary quite a while now and have no reason to believe that he would tell me different ,So you need to speak to him and find out why he told me this as it is him not me that has used the "Poetic licence" as you put it if he is not telling the truth .

Bear in mind he has had this car for around 30 years and some one could be getting confused whether its him or you i do not know .

So then that takes me out of the Bull shitters equation and the finger is now pointed at you or him for being untruthful . I do not like the idea of being made out to have to give out false information to sell a car as our name is that good it sells itself.

This could have been saved Andy with a phone call first and a apology would be nice .

P.S I have just spoke to Gary again 10 o'clock Saturday night and again he has assured me you have inspected this car .



Regards Chris

Hi Chris,
I am not and do not wish to seem that I am having a go. LI just stated that if anyone had bought the car and was a member hence posting in the members section that we have not viewed the car! That was not having a go at you it was just informing the membership as it was slightly misleading, and as we have a duty of care to them it was only right it was pointed out.
You have helped many owners including me in the past to keep their cars on the road so I would not have a pop at you over this as it would be counter productive! I am sorry if you feel offended there was nothing intended!

Have a good Christmas

Andy, I am not going to get into an argument with you, and you have also been very helpful to me in the fact if I have ever had a question with a lotus cortina i have always called you and you have been very helpful, Gary has told me he has been a member of the club for 30 years and is a genuine fella, so I just didnt think of doubting what he was telling me, and if you had called me and told me you had not viewed the car I would of happily removed that comment from the add, rather than posting it on here and making me in some way look deceitful. Its the 'poetic licence' part I did not like.
