Checklist for drafting an advert for the ZTTs for Sale webpage

Drafting your advert When drafting your advert, please start with the Colour and Car Number (Vehicle Identification Number), followed by the recorded mileage and a description of the quality, condition, specification, maintenance record, any accessories and any other points of interest. Finally quote the price and your name and telephone contacts plus the county where the car can be viewed. To see the current adverts, click the rollover buttons below

Trade or private sale? All adverts should clarify whether the car is offered for sale by a trader or as a private sale. By "trade sale" we mean a car offered for sale by either an individual as a sole trader or an individual acting on behalf of a commercial business, or by a commercial business. By "private sale" we mean a car offered for sale by the present owner who has owned the car as a V8 enthusiast. We feel this distinction is desirable not least for any Sale of Goods Act implications in the UK.

Beware of scam from an overseas V8 buyer!
Rick Morton (Woodcote Green 1300) has reported a scam which members who are selling a V8 need to note. Rick says "I just thought I would update you on my experience with trying to sell my RV8 recently before I withdrew it from sale. Both Jerry Winfield (Woodcote Green 1684) and I heard from the same person but I also had several other emails with roughly the same approach. Basically this person who is overseas agrees to buy your car, and will send you a cheque for more than the asking price to cover shipping costs etc. He then asks if you could bank the cheque and send the balance to his shipping agent via a money transfer. The cheque bounces but only after you have sent the cash to the shipping agent. This scam relies on your ignorance of how the cheque clearing system works. Problems arise because banks update their computers on day three of the clearing cycle. So if you check with them at that time, you may very well be told that the funds are available. It will only be on day four that the bank realises that there is a problem, and on day five that they tell you. Weekends and Bank Holidays all add to the delay. In my case the scam merchant was going to send me a cheque for £3,400 more than I was asking for the car. I was to subtract the cost of the car and send the remainder to his "shipping agent"." So members need to be alert to this scam and any approach from the scam merchant!
