My suspicion is, and I've no evidence to back this up. that he flips cars on his drive and saw an opportunity to double his investment, I know as fact he paid £800 to my colleague at work for it, he then joined the North West MG & Rover Owners Group on facebook with a story of how he loved the car and was just what he'd been looking for, within three weeks he'd re-registered it and put it up for sale on the group with an asking price of £1800 and no mention of the history of accident damage.
I had a conversation with the group admin, voicing my concerns that I suspected he was attempting to conceal the history of the vehicle and potentially mislead a prospective buyer (again, with no evidence, but I found it suspicious) and the admin challenged him about the history regarding the previous damage, he was asked to correct the advert, giving the true history of the car, he then blocked the admin (never a good move!) and left the group, minutes later the advert re-appeared on Facebook Marketplace.
I've no axe to grind with the current owner, it's his car and good luck with getting the most for the car as he can, what does annoy me is that some unsuspecting and possibly naive person could pay a lot of hard earned cash for a vehicle with a 'hidden' history.
