He might just want rid because he cba paying £2K insurance on it plus the high road tax.
Or it might be a complete dog, but that is the gamble with any second hand car.

Get it checked over by a competent mechanic before agreeing anything.

And if something seems too good to be true, then it usually is!

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
