You know what they say, if it looks like a scam then it's probably a scam...

Price is incredibly cheap, at least £10K under its current market value.

Number plate blitted out so you can't do a HPI or MOT check.

Photo's don't show a rough interior or the side ripped out of it (cheaper than a TVR Glen fixer upper).

Powers 4.3 upgrade listed, just to draw you in further.

So for me it's a scam....

Or she is kindly selling his car for him after finding out about his affair....

Take your pick.

p.s. If it isn't a scam then I am interested in buying it and gutting the engine out for my Tamora.

He's probably too busy emptying your bank account smile

Bit concerned about the advert. Title and picture clearly show a car which is spectra flair silver in color, while the text of the advert describe the car as being Grigio alloy!
Can't comment on whether it is a scam or not, but feel the advertiser should have checked it through first. Personally, I wouldn't touch it. wavey

The Lotus/TVR dealer who was selling my car, on behalf of someone, wasnt close in the colour they called the car but this looks like a scam to me

Hi guys,
This is a scam.
I sold the car last week via eBay.
My car had only 15k on the clock etc
The scammer has used my pictures in the advert, I contacted ph earlier today
But no response what so ever.
Poor show really, no phone number to report just the report button.
I hope no one gets scammed.
The new owner also contacted me earlier.
Initially I was alerted by an eBay member.
Let's get it taken down !

I would have brought it off you at the price that the other bloke is offering, if your eBay sale falls through then drop me a PM. Always happy to help out a fellow TVR owner. laugh

Seriously though well done for letting all of us know.

Looks like it's a scam. But how. I never got a reply to my email enquiry and my bank account is still as was.
