I am selling my car on ebay that has had a 1.6 16v conversion

The amount of people phoning asking if it is still a 1.2 on the log book
I have done everything legally, with tax/insurance etc.

Lots of people phoning saying it is for there sons first car I am going to end up selling it to someone who will change log book back drive like a plank kill my car and most likely themselves

Is annoying there is so many people willing to have illegal insurance

It's the ghetto thing to do

So irresponsible of the parents to let their kids drive 1.6's that are down as 1.2's on the logbooks aswell

You're better off stating that its all legit. If you still get messages asking, then ignore them.

Just would rather it went somewhere that it would be looked after

i should really have stuck a LET in could have done it cheaper than the 1.6 in the end and i could have just insured it as a 1.2

If you cant afford to insure it you shouldnt do it . i hope they all get stopped and done
