As far as I can tell, this was never sold as a "original Speed 6 with matching numbers". Had it been, the seller would have lost.
The language used was IMHO correct, the difficulty arouse because the buyer was not versed in car ways and placed upon the car, a misinterpretation of what was said.
You never, ever get a bargain from a dealer as it would mean they don't know their stock in trade - but with care, you might pay a fair price.
Bear in mind, we're talking here of a car that is the value of a house - would you buy a house without solicitors searches and surveys?
You do occasionally see an advert for a car in this bracket that has impeccable history and matching numbers, such cars tend to sold at auction and go for way above the price that might be paid for an average car.
I don't think the judgement changes much to be honest, this was never a case of selling a school of Renoir picture as a Renoir.
