I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

The pictures certainly don't look like the czech republic either..... odd.

It stinks of a scam - I reckon that they're using a hacked account.

There was a very similar thing with a 356 a couple of months back. The seller had 100% feedback, the pictures looked UK based and the vehicle was advertised as being in Cardiff...
The seller was said to be in Germany though, I'm intrigued as to how the scam works, as it's obviously just that. Try contacting them offering funds and see what happens I guess...
Bothered?

you might as well contact ebay and ask if it's legit. if it is, you'll be happier bidding on it. if they say it's dodgy, then they might catch a scammer.
certainly sounds odd.... unless the car is in the czech republic, and the seller is in nottingham, i.e. he's selling something on behalf of, or he has cars stored over there.
i'm in snottingham, ask him if you can go take a gander and i'll pop round.

Never trust a man Who names himself Trevor. Or one day you might find He's not a real drug dealer.

I've sent them an email asking if I can view the car, and if I did buy it my parents in Prague would be willing to send them a WMT for the full amount..........

I got my 100% feedback account pinched a while back, idiot that I am I got caught by the "Become a power seller" thing. I've noticed this scam has just resurfaced, so beware any less experienced eBay users!
Got a load of Star Wars toys listed at a bargain price in my name, but fact that he'd written that emails should go to another address that he supplied, not "Ask seller a question" made somebody click that it wasn't legit.
Oh look, that's exactly what this listing says.
I say this listing is dodgy.

Almost certainly dodgy looking at the previous items the seller has sold and how different the use of english is.

Ahaha, so that's how it can potentially work... I was intrigued as to how somebody could effectively dupe another persons profile. It's shame that you have to be so cynical these days when dealing with the simplest of things. Mind you for 4.5K, you could stick some large diameter rims on it, a modern Merc powerplant and smoke it about in matt black with some chrome trim...

Or buy it, dry store it and sell it in 10 years for £50k......
