I have another reason, not to buy the car in question. Or a million reasons, depending on how you look at it.
The owner of the business selling this car, set up a 'charity' in 2017. Purporting to assist Iraqi children who had lost a parent.
The Charity Commission investigated the 'charity' and found that the trustees couldn't account for a penny of the roughly £1m collected and supposedly disbursed. It found that outgoings included five figure payments to the Chair of Trustees for 'his own purposes'. I've deliberately not mentioned the sc*mbag in question. However the relevant links follow:
Companies House Info
Charity Commissioners Investigation
The Charity Commissioners dissolved the 'charity' and disqualified those identified as trustees. However, although it identified
various criminal offences that had been committed, its unclear whether the trustees were reported and a file sent to the Crown Prosecution Service. That's what I found from only five minutes Googling. Imagine what I might find if I reached out to old friends.
Reported to the FCA investigatory dept. as possibly having criminal convictions pending, plus the actions of the Charity Commissioners. Can do no more.
