Several of these around he/she seems to be selling allsorts from citroen DS classics to Z1's for stupid low money I dont for a minute believe they have any of them the second photo states the buy it now for peanuts but mention which listing in the emai. Pity I'd love a z1 that good for 6K

Yep. Random vehicle pics pasted off the internet. All different locations, some not in the UK. And on the first page there's only three items that have attracted a single bid.
It's so obvious. Why does the site let this kind of crap through? They really are a shower of shit.

Suspect it's the same bloke/group as this http://revtothelimit.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=246 this le mans has been for sale for three or four years. I have a saved search on ebay for Moto Guzzi Le Mans, generally for apares and the same Guzzi pops up every few weeks.

It also says Item location as UK not a specific location...…
If something looks to good to be true it normally is.

scam for sure.

the second picture is what they used to put as text in the advert. I suspect that ebay eventually automatically picked up on that format and auto deleted them so they put it in the picture instead.
