Hi there,

The link below shows a car which was sold on ebay last week, however i have noticed the car came up for sale again a few days ago on ebay as well....

I believe the new eBay listing is a scam. - looks like its been taken down

The car itself #157 is one of the RUK press x reg cars. It's in our register.

It is a scam, I emailed the seller to find out some more info and the email back I received was quite amusing.... some sob story etc, the usual. Very clear its a scam seeing as they demand upfront payment and will THEN deliver the car.... lol not to mention it was sold on ebay last week.

Cheers though!

was this car sold last year to someone in scotland?? I remember it being a press car and the pics look the same iirc

Please be warned that this is a scam. The owner is a gentleman called Ben. Someone has taken Ben's advert and tried to replicate the sale through ebay which is why the listing has now been removed. The seller (who i emailed) pretends to live abroad and will ship the car to its new owner for the bargain price of £3,100! BUT ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE PAID HIM.

I rang the chap who was originally trying to sell the car and he advised me that the car did not sell because someone messed him around, and that he HAS NOT re listed the car for sale yet. I advised Ben of the scam and he is looking into it.

Should go and have a look if your intrested before the owner puts it back up again

I am very tempted

It's back up on Pistonheads

The pistonheads advert is genuine, as I have spoken to Ben who owns the car. The ebay scammer has since disappeared lol
