Bit of advice people. The supposedly mint nova gsi on ebay is very very very dodgy. I added the chap to my msn via the email address which was on the ebay advert. That was fine asked him all about the car its mint its immaculate bla bla had one bubble on door and got hole side painted yeh sure. its mint its immaculate. Anyway i asked him if he had any more pictures apart from those on ebay and he gave me this one which showed the interior but u could see around the edges of the doors and they were white. Its the same picture that was on an ebay add a month ago which had a silk violet nova gsi with speedlines. I said to him anyway about the white bits he didnt reply for ages and he then said he had given me the wrong picture that he didnt have any other pics of it. So i said y did he give me that one then he said that he couldnt find any other pics of it.

VERY VERY VERY DODGY

Maybe im wrong but to me people its very dodgy. Im not trying to put anyone off by saying this the chaps email address is in the add ask him urself. Like i said i could be wrong its maybe a good car but just thought that people who were interested in the car would like to know. I can show anyone the pic that wants to see it i just dont know how to post pics on here.

Could have had replacement doors put on due to rusty originals?

Picture looks like the outside of the car is overexposed so yes, a silk violet car could appear white.

Then why did the guy that owned the car and showed me the photo say that he didnt have any he gave me that one mistake. If it was just glare then it was innocent enough but he didnt say that he didnt talk for ages and said he gave me that one by mistake he didnt have any of the car.
