For early cars yes all day..

I know a couple of people who have secured slot too but they have spent a huge amount of money with the brand over the years.

I was offered a pista slot and offered it on here for 100k and everyone told me it was only worth about 30k over list as that’s what Tom Hartley was offering ?? Didn’t go ahead wish I had now

Mr Mike who goes by many surnames has contacted me and a good number of my clients. Claims car is coming from Meridian. It doesn’t exist and he should be blocked at all costs.

He sends a fake driving licence and a fake letter from meridian. Be warned as he may well catch someone out. He’s managed to contact a lot of people via text and it’s sll very strange.

This is still going on ladies and gents. Be warned.

just been contacted by him, no idea how he got my number.

Did you ever have a car for sale? I think he gets his numbers of PH classified. Wonder if anyone has reported him to the police yet?

You would think so, but I think there is an even bigger breach of data somewhere. He's contacted people I know that haven't listed a car for sale. I think he may be an ex employee of some company.

This is the message people are receiving by text. I've been led to believe that several people have been caught out by this scam. I urge all of you to please share this information with your contacts and friends in the car world.

There is a crime case open with West Yorkshire police and I urge that if you have been contacted by this man you try and speak to Kirstie Low at West Yorkshire Police.

It won't be through the PH classified, personal contact details are encrypted from memory. Ex Employee sounds more credible.
