This car is back on eBay, Quite why it never sold is a mystery?, fictitious bidding?

Listed for sale at £4500 .....

I would think it was being artificially bid up first time but did not meet expectations, can't remember but I don't think it had a reserve last time around so in reality it should have gone to the winning bidder, unless the seller was also the bidder [?]

Whatever the story on the first "sale" (and I'm sure there is one..) I thought that the price was about right.. surely he's flying a kite now?

I've been outbid a few times on eBay only to get an email with a second chance offer.

I think £2800 was a very good figure for the car originally. I thought it would struggle to make over £2000.

A rare car but we all know how much they cost to restore properly.
