Here's the reply I got from that ad. Anyone want to buy a car from "my Nigerian mate" Brian Barns? -

*************************************************************

Hello,

Please forgive me for my late reply, but I was on a business trip and I just came home. This 1998 TVR Cerbera 4.2 1998 sports GT car is a great car, never implied in any accident, in excellent condition. There are no signs of prior damage on this vehicle. My job put me on the way to UK and I bought this car there. Now I have to sell it as I've got back home in Austria. As you know I need a left hand drive vehicle here. Even if I transported the vehicle to Austria, it is still registered in UK. The final price is £ 5.000 sterling + shipping to your door.The estimated cost for door to door shipping to just about anywhere in the UK will cost about £ 500 GBP. For an accurate shipping cost please include your shipping address in your next email.

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

The transaction will be made under eBay's protection plan for our safety. Your funds will be 100% insured by Ebay who will hold your payment until you receive and test the car. You will have 15 days from the time you receive the vehicle to inspect it and decide if you want to keep it or not. If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name, address and eBay user id so I can initiate the deal through Ebay. I'm a serious man and I prefer to deal only with a serious buyer. I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards.
