Phase 1 #493 to be sold at auction - is it the bargain...

...that it appears to be? H&H

Estimated at £6,000 - £8,000!

"This Phase I version was delivered new to Northern Ireland in November 2002, moving across to the mainland three years later. It has apparently been treated to new brake discs all round and a replacement cambelt within the last 3,000 miles - the indicated total mileage of 74,500 is considered genuine by the vendor. The car's impressive specification includes 17-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, Momo steering wheel, power steering, air conditioning and a CD player. The vendor views the bodywork, engine and transmission as "very good" and the Silver paintwork and Blue suede/leather interior trim as "good". 'DEZ 4199' comes complete with service book showing six main dealer/specialist stamps, original handbooks, set of factory service manuals, spare key, several old MOTs and one valid into March 2013."

Hmmm...is this a scam since the registration shown in the advert, DEZ 4199, appears to be on a 2019 MERCEDES-BENZ A-CLASS! As such, is this one really [v6plaque]493[/v6plaque], or does this plate really belong the A Class?

The V6 Register states that [v6plaque]493[/v6plaque] did have "...metalic blue painted wheels" in 2010.

Further, there is no mention of a cambelt change or details of any of its real service and maintenance history, and the advert states that its MOT expired in 2013.
 
Oh, indeed the auction appeared tp have taken place on 5th July 2012, which was just under a year after got the first Vee - how time flies and prices rise! :race:

Wonder why this came up as a new 'hit' via a push notification via Google then...have they turned to spamming people - NEVER... :rollseyes:
