OK, for starters why is the price/reserve so low? Secondly, the options and safety gear given on the list aren't on the real thing - 4WD? come on!

Looks like a real one - so whose is it? Is the 'seller' a scammer?

[pdV6]

As the registration is shown in the pics and there aren't exactly a whole lot of 'em around, somebody must know more about it?

Either a scammer, just look at the description - that could apply to any car, or an extremely naive seller.

eBay said:

GOOD LUCK! I will end the auction immediately for the first person who meets the low reserve!

Hmm, no reserve shown, yet auction still running - laundering scam??

[Bodo]

It can't be Dokic's since he had an SV!?

[off_again]

ding a ling.... alarm bells ringing....

"payable by Wire Transfer Only. The balance is due within 5 days by Wire Transfer!"

Why? Oh, because its yet another scammer? Looks too suspicious to me.

[v8thunder]

Ace-T, this isn't your revenge on Vibrator-man is it? If so, good one!

[ultimasimon]

Hmm at first I thought it was genuine. Then there was the four wheel drive bit which I am sure they didn't produce one with four wheel drive.

But 'wire transfer' does it for me

All I was waiting to see was 'Item location Nigeria' to confirm it is a scam.

I think that those pictures have been borrowed from someones web site, but I could be wrong.

Thats the thing with ebay you have to be very careful when it comes to valuable items.


Mice Miuara tho If it needs an engine overhaul that will be another £20k

[tuscan_thunder]

'apparently', it has cats, parking sensors, disability access etc. total scam.

[superlightr]

it has a toe bar? Ask him does it toe well - the q and A qill be put on the ebay sale.

Not the tidiest of miura engine bays.

[FourWheelDrift]

looks like a US plate so not UK based or in his "Garrage"

No V5, no MOT, no road Tax either.

[off_again]

Oh, and listing says that its in the UK, and they will post it worldwide. What in bits?

Anyway, take a look at the rear view, the number plate is US and the first picture looks very much like a suburban US street..... you dont find that in the UK much.

A quick google for Miura pictures didnt turn up anything, but have to say, I would never buy a Miura from eBay - get one from a registered and legit dealer. £1,500 Porsche compo on Top Gear, your bank wouldnt know what hit it if you did that with a Lambo...

[tim2100]

Love the options list!!

4-Wheel Drive - Definatly not!

AM/FM Stereo, Cassette Player, CD Player - Wow Cassette CD & Radio!
Navigation System - so wheres the dvd player?
Premium Sound System - Nice!

Catalytic Converter - hmmmm don't think so
Central Locking,
Climate Control, - Would love that in a 60's car
Convertible - nah definatly got a roof
Cruise Control - really all the mod cons
Disabled Accessible - would love to see this in the disabled spaces, where do you put the wheelchair?
Electric Seats - improbable
Electric Windows,
Leather Seats,
Parking Sensors, is this on the same screen as the sat nav?
Power-assisted Steering (PAS) - 1960's super car with PAS???
Rear Spoiler,
Tilt Steering Wheel,
Tow Bar - that must weigh the car down!

Tim!!

A miura for £20k would be an absolute unbelivable bargain even in poor condition, so if its too true to believe then dont..

Airbag something 's mixed up here . . . probably the 476th

I hope not, I think the owner won't be too pleased.

[FourWheelDrift]

I notice the current bids have gone down from 8 to 6 and 20,000 to 16,000

I did ask a question, requesting Chassis number & engine number. I know I will not get a reply.

Such a dodgy scam but only a fool would fall for it with all the 21st Century optional extras it seems to have acquired.

"Steering wheel airbag" gets me it even shows a photo of the all metal (apart from the badge in the middle) steering wheel.

[guydw]

I think that the old adage "would you buy a used car from this man" applies ....

I like the fact that it has ESP - wow, I never knew they had that on the Miura ....
