Thanks Mfast

Not only does he not know about the car he is selling. He has about the same grasp of the English language as my house cat. Low quality photos as well. It all adds up a rather dodgy situation to me. But I could be dead wrong. Caveat emptor.

Well the engine says VTEC on the valve covers so it has a Honda motor in it. Ok found the Xantos website. So its a Lotus 23 replica. I'd do a bit more research to see if the seller has it titled and registered. "Cash only" for "$28,0500 OBO" doesn't sound right.

Search for his phone number on Google and you will see a lot of busted vehicles he is selling. Cadillacs, jeeps, Mustangs.

Oh well, Old McDonald was a bad speller too. Just ask the folks at Geico. :jester:

Good one xcarguy:D

 

To be fair, I'm no Mark Twain when it comes to writing skills. The least one should do when trying to place an advert to sell something is to do at least a little proof reading & use a spell checker.

 

The car is pretty cool looking & that Vortec Oops! I mean VTEC should be pretty quick as well. It could be a brilliant car. But the seller has done every thing in his power to make that car look questionable & himself look like a dodgy back ally huckster. May not be fair, But that's life.

 

I personally wouldn't touch it unless I had the chassis number and made a call to Xanthos to ask whether it was a kit build or turnkey. Mr. mfast really needs to do the aforementioned title/registration investigation, As well as insisting that he be put in touch with the prior owner.

Amazingly small and light. They can also be powerful.

 

The only person ever seriously hurt at a LOG was driving one of those. A fast car with narrow tires on a dirty road can spell disaster.

It looks like it has both the front and rear windows out of an Elise. Interesting.
