I purchased this car under the pretense, or assumption depending on your point of view, that it was a genuine 3L GTV6.

Having bought two other cars from the same owner, I paid for it in advance, so not to miss out on the deal, confirmed that it would be derivable and make the 400 odd km trip back to Cape Town.

Upon collection I realise the car actually has a 2.5 motor to which the owner responds, “yes, ts a replica”. At no point was this mentioned previously, we always referred to the car as the GTV6.

Needless to say, the car drops a valve 30km out of Calvinia, so we drive back to inform the seller. He asks what I would like to do, I respond I would like my money back. Two weeks later, no refund forthcoming, I collect the broken car on with a trailer.

Turns out this is a 2L body, with a 2.5 motor and 3L bonnet and badge.

The images in this post are of the vehicle as I got it, with broken motor. i.e. Not running.
