Bought a Porsche 1971s, represented on BAT as a 'total rotisserie restoration' and on shipping it to the UK, it turned out to have suffered a massive frontal impact, rendering it financially nonviable to properly repair.

After reporting the seller to BAT, as they request you do first in any dispute, they just 'did a Julius Caesar' i.e. washed their hands of it.

As did the seller.

Hence the current law suite.
