Misleading eBay ad goes viral

An advert for a 1996 Ford Fiesta LX has attracted serious attention from the eBay community but not because it is a genuinely intriguing "unfinished restoration project" but because the advert is so brazenly false.

The online auction was up to £153,800 at time of writing - around 1000 times the value of a P-Reg Ford Fiesta with a few minor scrapes - despite the vehicle in the accompanying images being a crushed heap of garbage.
