Ah well, this will at least be "interesting".
If anyone is the slightest bit interested I'd still just make contact direct as I could quite see this getting pulled or changed.

I mailed the seller when this post went up, no reply.
Having seen photos on ebay this is a wreck with wrong engine, and wrong wheels and prob smaller parts missing.Now on ebay the seller has lost any chance of control to what happens to it.
He says he inherited it, he’s selling it so prob not that bothered what happens to it.
If this was broken up would that really matter, particularly if it made several other Nippy’s
More complete or original.
It would be prudent to count the cost of restoring basket cases,how much original car do you end up with anyway.While this is a hobby for most of us it seems daft to spend hundreds of hours on something that is worth less money than you spent on it.
I agree with others who say buy something already running, then you can enjoy using it, and tinkering around with it.
I have restored a couple of basket cases, so I feel I can speak from experience.One of them took me 30yrs on and off, If I had bought a better car I could have enjoyed using it.Someone has to restore them I suppose, but my age and experience has changed my viewpoint.
