all in it sounds a good car for a good price, but when you read its just had an engine rebuild it does make you suspicious

lol dont worry im not gonna buy it:lol:
take a little tip from uncle bobby though;-) bring a plug spanner and a torch and ask the guy if he will let you remove one of the spark plugs to check and see if its got forgies fitted! if hes genuine then he wont mind you doing this, or ask him to do it if he doesnt want you tampering with his motor.
get one of the pistons at tdc, remove plug and shine a torch down plughole, now if you see a ring around the size of a 5p piece in the centre of piston then that means they are standard oe pistons.
do not rely on paperwork alone as that can be easily obtained from anywhere.
theres been a few cases lately of people selling cars saying they have forge internals etc when infact theres nothing of the sort fitted.
once they have your wonga theres little you can do about it.

Its sold so who did splash the cash .
not me!
i tried getting his post code but he didnt give it to me!
i asked him to get me the mileage of the engine aswell but he didnt, he said he was unsure so i asked him to check it against the mot closest to the rebuild date on the paperwork but he never got back to me with the details!
