You might want to contact the UK NCRS chapter to see if anyone there has a C4 convertible for sale. There should be plenty of experts in their group that can inspect a car for you too.

As a side note I had to change my brake reservoir to a two cup system since the crossover style is no longer available.

Based on what we've seen on this thread, I would say that the seller's response to messages probably reflects the tone of the messages he received. 
Sounds like he's just a regular old human being to me....
Flood the market???!! He hasn't seen an issue of AutoTrader or CraigsList, or even the CF, I guess. In any case, he may find himself a tad too late...

Im not a car dealer as the seller is claiming to be, but we all know that *** inports all have dodgy years of manufacture on their paper work
Any way i think i have talked the boy into going for this one.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...9018&rd=1&rd=1
Which is a real 1991,and which is £1500 cheaper,with the added bonus that as my boy wants a red vert the quality time we will spend
on prep work and painting will be worth its weight in gold.
many thanks guys for the input

Yup - "I smell a rat" - as they would say in the old country - and in the new country.
This has "scam" written all over it.

Also Parking Brake Handle and door sills are a good indicator.

hm.... there are lotsa problems, but the best I can figure, this is NOT a Gieger wide body kit. I have seen that kit, and this is NOT that kit.
I donno what it is, but it's not any Gieger I am familier with.
Run, don't walk, away from this car.
Besides, the seller is a total *** wipe.
