On the other hand, it's probably going to get a decent price. Hmm.

I relisted the Octavia, I think I got a bid, that would have sold it.
But Ebay pulled the auction for the heinous crime of mentioning words
along the line of "Advertised elsewhere. I reserve the right to cancel
the auction if sold through the other advert (subject to ebay normal
cancelation conditions). That was enough for ebay to cancel the auction
and inform the bidder I had broken the auction T&Cs in my description.
Guess they won't be back then.

But if you post an auction using stolen details, or have photos of
ladies forwarding to phishing pages so you can steal more details, fine
no bother. Just don't be honest in your listing or they will scrap it.

I think they were normally prototypes or factory owned Demo models.
That might explain that while good, it has no certificates for the LPG
system, but with 2 days to go, has gone past £700 and has 24 bids.

There was a thread on alt.fan.landrover a week or 2 ago about it with an
ebay link. IIRC Discos with WAC at the end of the plate are the first
production run, before they started fullscale production and the cars
were handed out to the press and used for advertising. There was 20
made or something and they are affectionately known as G-WACs.

It's a 1.8, and it's the later shape one so it'll drive ok.
