I was trawling the market for a P38, yeah why another...... anyway I was just looking! Came across a nice looking 4.0L Westminster in Grey. 2002 with 70k miles. There were no internal pics so dropped the dealer an email asking for some. What I got back wasn’t consistent with a 70k vehicle so I checked the .gov MOT history site to find it had covered 154k miles in 2009 then 66k in 2010. Don’t buy a 2002 4.0L P38 Westminster in Manchester.

Too true. Most people will know if it’s too good to be true it usually is but there will be someone without experience who will fall for the 70k genuine mileage.....Wouldn’t mind one in that colour though!

Maybe the 1 on the odometer fell off the screen in disgust or we're in the different time and space. Manchester my fair city is noted for spice drugs.

Ha ha... good point I hadn’t considered the psychedelic, space time continuum theory. So really this is 2005 when it actually had 70k miles. Time to google some lottery winning number.....
