It appears to have been a shade over £7,000....

Looking at the advert, I can't see much grounds for complaint. It states multiple times that it's in need of restoration and specifically recommends viewing the car.

Having not viewed the car, I don't think it's reasonable to claim any misselling.

If approached very gently, the seller might be talked into taking it back for close to the price paid.

Looks like you could do with a little help from Fuzz on Car sausage! 41 bids so clearly a desirable car. If not happy you could try re-listing it. Or if you are an enthusiast there are many BMW sites, warehouses etc holding good stocks of parts for your project.. What do you think the completed car might fetch?

1. The roof upholstery is in very poor condition, but was juat stated the interior needs a good clean. 2. Omitted The lack of a wing mirror 3.The lack of a battery to start the car. 4. A previous colour change. 5.A large hole present in the boot floor.

Is there meant to be two as in the pics there is the drivers side one but a lot of older cars have one.

I'm pretty sure that most cars had mirrors both sides by 1979. Beemers, anyway.

Ditto my first Mini Metro (yes, can you believe I was a sucker for punishment and got another!!!). I think the passenger side mirror was an optional extra!

I think that you (the OP) are on your own with this one. You've bought a restoration project off eBay without viewing it in person. It doesn't appear particularly misdescribed, it's always going to be on the poorer side than any description or photos will show. In my opinion the seller has done nothing wrong. If you no longer want it, sell it on and cut your losses.
