Irrespective of any of the vendors caveats, if the car is being miss represented by the business selling it , any new purchaser has legal recourse to have the sale reversed.
Yes agreed. At first I thought that as long as the current highest bidder knows it was a LHD car and is happy it doesn't matter, but then of course it may not have got that high and he could have got it cheaper!The deleted/incorrect information in the advert is a 'material fact' ie one that would influence any potential purchasers decision making.
Therefore surely all bids made so far must be void and the auction re-started as there is no other reference in the advert to this deletion.
Very shady practice!

I’m sure the ad said the seats had been rebuilt/recovered in the US. Why would someone send their seats to the US when they could be done here? And no paperwork of course, so another half truth there …
Weasel worded to deceive in my opinion, we all know HLS30 vin number means US export model and by definition LHD from factory and the conversion evidence is plain to see in the photos.
I'm not even sure that the British military were in Japan in the early 70's? Anyone else know for sure?
Of course the US military were there and quite a few took their HLS30's back to USA with them but I've never heard of any UK servicemen bringing a car back from Japan.
If I had to make an educated guess I would say it more than likely it was owned by a USAF serviceman whose next posting was in the UK and brought the Z with him, Mildenhall or Lakenheath perhaps.
Is it possible that the seller doesn't know the truth about the cars origins?
