Are you talking about me? 
After the sad and untimely demise of my first S I rushed head first into the purchase of a shiny and seemingly good car that was cheap enough to make it attractive. An engine rebuild followed by a new engine and two clutch release bearings and not to mention just under £6k later), leads me to believe I am qualified enough to say that Fester is absolutely right here. And that really hurts to say that too

There is rust on the rear arches and the stone protector trim has been removed from the arches as well.
If that car is perfect then mine must have just rolled off the production line.
I’d avoid that example and save up a couple more grand to get a much much better example, they are out there, just need to be ready to buy when it comes up for sale.

It is Tegiwa that run that Facebook page, look a little closer, I'm not saying Tegiwa are actually selling the car just using Facebook to sell parts. That link goes directly to them.

Facebook is full of adverts as is this place so it's not really news is it.

I would be checking the offside front wing for colour match to the rest of the car and the wheels will need refurbishment, other than that I would be doing the usual used car checks. I also note no photos of the interior are available which will give you a good indication of past use. If it has a matching set of quality tyres then It's worth a look as it's the right year from a tax point of view.

That car has had a fair bit of paintwork done and pretty poor colour match as well, the front end looks different colour to the drivers door and the passenger sill is different colour to the rest of that side. I’d avoid it.
