Photos are taken from the car park of the pub across the road from Offord motors. They use it as an overflow during the day to avoid crowding their forecourt.

I did hear of a story like this once where once the winner of the car had won
he went down to collect it at a car park. Once there he was jumped by a gang who
knew he had the money on him because they were running the auction all along and there
was no car really? Maybe this one's legit? maybe not? seems a bargain you could trade it in for
more than that surely?

Decided to get more information to see whats going on and story kinda follows the one on the other ebay sag! funny eh...

here you go...

Hi,

The 2005 Reg TVR Sagaris 4.0 in showroom condition with 13,500 miles is still for sale. A great car, never implied in any accident, in excellent condition with full service history. VRM number is EU05FDK.

My job put me on the way to ENGLAND and I purchased this car there. Now I have to sell it as I've got back home in GERMANY. The car is here as well.

The final price is £4200+ shipping to your door. For an accurate shipping cost please include your shipping address in your next email.

As you probably noticed, the price is rather low. But since it's a right hand drive car, not even a dealer will offer me a better price here. The fact that it's still UK registered did not help either.

I am the registered keeper and there is no outstanding finance on the vehicle. The car is in excellent condition, the bodywork is immaculate, no scratches, dents or hidden defects as well as the interior in excellent non-smoking condition.

Due to amount involved and due the fact I am not located in United Kingdom anymore, I only accept third party transaction mediator ... and I am talking about eBay.

All documents, including V5 log book on your name will be provided along with the car.

Please email me soon if you want to move forward and let me know if you need anything else.
All the best James Johnson !

I had a similar thing for a Tuscan about 12 months ago. Enquired about the car and was told it was in Germany and then got a link to pay via eBay. The car was registered to someone in the NE but the seller said he'd moved.

Once I said I'd get a customer in Germany to come and collect the car the correspondence stopped.

If the price is too good to be true then I reackon it is!!!!
