I am more than happy to apologise if I have offended any one with my comments on this site and do so unreservedly. I do hope it is also noted that in attacking, correcting or exposing the seller (deservedly it would appear) it is also very difficult as a buyer to not be drawn into the same widely caste net. I was not privacy to any of the "warnings" as I was not even on this forum prior to buying the car. So therefor I did seem to have done some $ and probably got ripped off. I pay the price and certainly one I could not afford yes "roll up roll up" as pointed out - one born every minute, another fool. I would be most interested in knowing all the incorrect statements (lies) on the auction notes. If I can be provided with some details, I will pursue the matter with EBay and if need be legally at this end. I can fully understand why serious automotive historians and writers might shy away from online forums. Being taken to task and challenged is never easy ground to walk on. It is perhaps a very similar hesitancy to how “newbies” who know nothing about cars, can feel, being intimidated and completely out gunned by people on a forum who know each other well and with great shared knowledge and experiences and in this case a passion for 203's. There should be a middle ground or clear announcement or mercy for humble fools who have walked into a Barnum experience surely? The invisible hierarchy, norms and pecking order on such forums is totally invisible from the outside and I do not know any of you from a "bar of soap", whether a historian, author, or a 40- year career as a senior educator or now a humble artist.
The message is we all love Peugeots, looking at them, driving them, talking about them, and owning them.
Again, my heart felt apologies to all and in particular you Mr Hall.
Kindest Regards
