Take a look, it's up for £8,500 (14k miles) and looks very nice!!!

Looks like a dealer is selling it. Surely this can not be right unless it has a damaged history.

Sorry have no link to the listing.

Or a good project car for a less expensive engine engine to run long term, like a yank V8....

The advert looks a bit vague.

There's one at the top with a recent rebuild with a current bid of £7100

This has got to be a scam? I expressed in interest in the car and got the following reply:



Hi there,

Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, work
commitments.

The 2001 TVR Cerbera is still available for the price
of £8,500 GBP + shipping to your door.The estimated
cost for door to door shipping to just about anywhere
in the UK will cost about £ 500 GBP and takes 8 days
to arrive at your address. For an accurate shipping
cost please include your shipping address in your next
email.

The car is meticulously maintained. No damage, no
scratches or dents, no hidden defects, runs and sounds
awesome, the engine has never been repaired or
something like that, never been into accidents and it
is as advertised .The vehicle comes with all the
documents, original ones. The car comes complete with
full service history and is stunning in every way.

The car was bought from UK, it meets the UK specs and
the UK road worthy regulations and it complies with
the UK emissions standard.

The vehicle is accurate, corrosion free, no scratches,
no damage of any kind, was properly serviced and
stored, has a clear title, all the manuals and the
original documents are in English. The buyer will
receive them along with title and all the additional
documents needed for registration upon purchase.

I have just came back to my home country Hungary
because I got a very good job offer here. I did some
research, as I brought the car with me, with the
intention of driving it but when I found out about the
very high import duties and all the restrictions
regarding registration and emissions tests here I have
made up my mind and decided to sell it. I have another
photos available, so if you are interested in buying
it let me know and I will send them to you.

I am a private seller not a dealer thus this
transaction is sales tax free, however please note
purchase price does not include shipping and insurance
taxes. This transaction is insured by the vehicle
purchase protection program, which means that after
you receive the car you will have a 5 days inspection
period to inspect it and to evaluate it's mechanical
and cosmetically condition before buying the vehicle.

I want to take the opportunity to assure you that this
deal is 100% legitimate, the financial part of this
deal will be managed by Ebay, in this way both of us
will be protected. I will make all the documents from
here on your name and address, they will be signed and
legalized and when you will get them you will only
have to put your signature on.

If you want to complete the purchase please send me
your ebay ID, your full name and address and I will
notify ebay that you are selected as my buyer. After I
get in touch with them they will contact you to
explain the entire procedure.

Please email me soon if you want to move forward and
let me know if you need anything else.

All the best!

Yep, scam. Double check the registration plate - I had a similar response from a seller of a Touareg 5-litre V10 I was considering for wifey, looked fishy and too damn cheap. Checked the reg and the DVLA thought it was 1.2 Vauxhall Meriva... despite pointing this out to the seller he came out with exactly the same sales patter.... scammer and stupid methinks.

SCAM - DVLA don't know about the registration plate.

I'd report it on ebay, but they hide the stuff so well these days

SCAM ALL OVER IT, just got a reply back from the seller, well the scam seller, I would buy it now if it were genuine, be careful on eBay there are loads of them at it.
Stay well clear, I had a nasty expirience with an M3 that I nearly bought.
I dont know how these people get away with it !!
