I know it’s going to make me sound like an old fart but this is why I stay well clear of face book.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

No need to stay away from Facebook, just don't sent large amounts of money to someone you have no knowledge of by a method that cannot be recalled!

If the buyer is dodgy and can recall their money they can rip off the seller.

Thanks for the warning Stuart.
Whatever everyone's opinions, at least now we are all aware of this one!
