I have had dealings with this guy back in August. Bought facelift bumper of him. Then got loads of bullsh*t about how his father had died and would get things sorted soon. Then he told me that the garage had burnt down and all parts gone! After a few emails in which one said "you know where I live, come and get the money", amazingly I eventualy got my money back by sending him a paypal invoice  .
This guy is definately a sandwich short of a picnic and needs sorting physicaly which was something I was going to do before he refunded me. Do not buy from him.

Seems to us all he's making enemies FAST.
Which wont go on forever,he'll get caught out for ripping off the wrong person and how thick can he be,giving out his address.
Only a matter of time before he gets a message.

Sheffield Trading Standards are well aware of this clown,but I think he's too insignificant a fish for the South Yorkshire Constabulary to bother with him,but having said that I did get a speeding fine in a lorry in Altrincham,easy quick pinch of course

For anyone thinking about buying one of these, it was NOT a Scorpio part, the selector is from a Scorpio, the wooden handle is from a Mondeo and you can pick them up for buttons!

Suggest the next Scorpio meet be held in Sheffield. About 3-4 hours for me but will attend for such a 'special' occasion.

That conjours up amusing scenes particularly if the gathering happened to be in Newstead Drive,Sheffield,thirty Scorps blocking the road,I bet the man at 94 would be first to call police,or maybe he would be in bed dying from some terrible wasting disease,at least for that day anyway

At least we would have the transport for him 
I have a couple of spare pallets to make the box!
If he couldn't or wouldn't pay , I'd throw in a quid or two.

I reckon you've got a point there Stuart, those facelift headlights do look a little too clean considering the age of them

Hi to all members listed above,
He currently had walnut auto gear knob sold on 19th Dec stating he as only having seen 1 before. Yet now he is listing a 2nd only 7 days later
Item condition: Used
Item number: 300282980680
Item location: sheffield, South Yorkshire, United Kingdom
I've emailed him asking if he has a job lot of them as I stated i would not be able to bid on this one as not paid until January. In 3 minutes I had a reply that he'll put one aside for me so that makes 3. He replied to the email as Karl or Carl and states that the breaks cars for a living so the parts are readily available to him.
I'd be very weary of this Ebayer 0114luke and watch his listings with interest as recently his items seem to be delivered, but it could be his friends or colleagues leaving the more recent feedbacks to erase the poor ones from Sept 6th-28th earlier this year.
Regards Chris

Hi Again,
2nd email already from Karl he'll keep one back for me and has wait for it 60 scorpio's broke in his yard so anything i need will not be an issue just waiting for the email to state use Paypal diorect to his email to save the Ebay listing charges. Buyer Be Ware
As Highlander said the gear shifter is from the mondeo and coincidently when you log into his other items for sale he is breaking a 2.5 V6 mondeo with walnut interior and yes a walnut auto gearshift which is then mated to the Scorpio base. The part does look quite good but well over the odds, why not get a mondeo being broke and copy the idea for ourselves at a much reduced cost.
He also lists full ford engine rebuilds to any performance spec can you imagine how much money he'll take off an unsuspecting individual if they choose to take him up on a rebuild. I'd use chevrolettes.com or bossperformance or is it topbossperformance? from what i've read on internet unless any members have had an experience with them and can enlighten me.
Regards Chris

I bought the first of the walnut auto gearshifts from him and then when I saw the second was immediately worried. However it duly arrived in very good time with no issues at all and is now fitted to the beast.
Maybe I was just lucky.

I think the majority of parts get sent Geoff but that walnut gearshift is off a Mondeo, they werent ever fitted to the Scorpio.
You can pick them up in the scrap yard for a couple of quid
