Tuscan for Hire on ebay

[Nick_Chim]

This chap seems to like his Tuscan so much he wants to share it....

Noticed that earlier

Fair enough idea to make a few quid I suppose!

[UpTheIron]

He will quickly learn that running costs are greater than purchase costs

I suspect he is NOT fully insured either (hire & reward), which won't help when someone rear-ends him because they didn't see his indicators through the blacked out rear window.

And from the Ebay ad it looks like he's a PH'er

www.pistonheads.co.uk/members/showProfile.asp?memberId=41737 I presume

Can't fault the idea though (other than a ? over insurance)...now, what price for use of my passenger seat on the way to the next VW / Le Mans / ANOther event

That was a might quick bit of detective work

Considering he includes a full tank of fuel, I hope the price goes a bit higher than the £45 it is at the mo.

Not only do you need Private hire insurance ( hire and reward), which I very much doubt he will get, and if he did it would cost a fortune on a car like that, but I suspect he also needs to be licensed by his local council. The car will also need to be tested and licensed, and most councils will only licence 4/5 door vehicles.

He would also normally need to be checked out by the CRB before he is issued with a licence.

I would think what he is doing is illegal.

DOesnt he know that the grp cracks on the bottom of the boots on Tuscans when you put something heavy in the boot!! Cracks can go right around the rear clam!! ouch.

[amcphillips]

I e-mailed to ask if he had insurance for hire and reward:

"i dont currently, but it can be arranged, when the auction ends to cover the day in question
Any more questions please drop me a line"

[Nick_Chim]

went for £50 in the end to 'odour-control'

you couldn't write comedy like that....

[s7usk]

with a full tank thrown in for £50

Yeah! its the same chassis as the cerb, which ends at the rear bulkhead, so the whole boot is just unsupported fibreglass, not a very good idea sitting in it FFS!

[UncleDave]

He's at it again!!

Raised the price this time though..

So last time was a day for £50

This time its 4 hours for £100,

Get the feeling he wished he hadnt bothered doing it, perhaps he just wants to meet people !!
