Were they not galvanised from new? If so rust could be crash damage, also, if he knows the colour is so good surely he should know how to spell it properly! Lol

Been lookin for a while and wouldn't even veiw that just on the strength of the ad! :)

Sounds more like some paint damage (stone chip or something) that has been left. The zinc plating (galvanising) gives itself up to protect the steel below and when its gone the rust will start. The car has been up for sale a while and now the price is dropping anyway silver leather is not my cup of tea.

Wonder what else has been left?
