Please do NOT buy this on eBay.

I have contacted the seller as they are using a photo of my car and not the item that they are selling. I've asked them to remove my photo from their listing and they have advised that they will wait for eBay to tell them to remove it.

I do not want people to think this is me if they get a stty deal from the seller.

The guy cannot spell.. very little sale history.

Run a mile.

I really don't want people to think it is me.

Please feel free in asking the seller ownership questions as they are currently selling something that they haven't photographed.

eBay take 72 hours to sort these things out so I've asked nicely for them to change the photograph but they've refused.

Maybe if everybody here asks the seller questions and annoys them, they'll reconsider and remove it.

(please see my PH username and the car reg to validate that I am the same person!).

Thanks.

This is a scam that isn't necessarily about TVRs or even cars. A year or so ago we were selling a flat screen TV and found up to 20 adverts all using our photo. Every one gave a seller's details somewhere in West Yorks. Eventually they were all taken down by e-bay after my missus reported the situation to an internet fraud outfit (whose name I unfortunately can't remember). It's not clear what the purpose of the scam is, except somehow to capture any enquirer's personal info. It also seems related to another scam we have experienced where a "buyer" answers an ad and says they will send an agent to collect the goods offered (car/caravan/ whatever), and will put the asking price into the seller's bank. This one has happened a lot in the States, and needless to say, the fake buyer has no intention of putting any money into your bank. The offer to collect the goods is just misdirection as they're relay just after the bank details.
