The exterior shots are of the 4800 mile Pink Pig car, and a random RHD interior!

I must be missing the scam. Obviously the deal cannot be done, but he is not asking for A deposit or payment up front, so how does this scam work?

This one has got smarter. You cant buy it now but have to contact him/her. This gives him/her the chance to ring you or entice you into giving him/her your mail address to ask for cash up front.

The sad thing is that Ebay know this is going on, it would be quite simple for them to put a little banner on advising Joe Public on every high value listing to be careful / checking listings for word patterns, but they choose not to do it. Need a clever lawyer in the US to put a class action together.
