That’s hilarious isn’t it! To be fair most of that graffiti will probably come off with a t cut although I would expect some damage to remain. If cheap enough it’s a buy.

Strange that the seller hasn't done this then!!! So are they lying or just really lazy? I'm amazed how often I see stuff on the local Facebook Marketplace that's absolutely filthy, etc along with the suggestion that it 'just needs a good clean/bit of TLC to look lovely'...

The most alarming photo on the ad is the one showing a 20 litre plastic jerry can half full of water.

Superb ad - Teacut rather than T-Cut and with the reassuring confidence that it’s been well serviced and it’s had a recent cam belt but all the paperwork has been lost.

Yup, saw it too. "... just uses a little bit of water on a long journey..."
