Is this is a scam?

Found this in the classifieds. Looks very cheap? Anyone know the history?

Beat me to it.
I was thinking the same thing.

Has to be I think..

Good news is the car only has 10k miles as opposed to 20k miles as per the advert. Bad news is its actually 65k.

A quick search on Autotrader brings up the same car with the same reg for sale at 65k

Well the telephone number is actually a fax number for the Argyll branch of the Highlands and Islansds Enterprise Council which would suggest something is fishy.

Very kind of the scammer to give the lucky buyer nearly 50% discount

The next cheapest F1 is 10k more, with 7k more miles (a lot for a Fez). It's also yellow. It's a '99 model, whereas this one is a 2003 model... So clearly something fishy is going on.
