If this is being sold by Talbir, I think most who have read his threads and looked at his car portfolio will think this a cheap bargain, especially on bids to date, anyway.

Fine but what is your purpose in sticking it here??

Is it really talbir's car?

I thought he lived in London but the ad says it's in Middlesex - however, I know nothing (well very little) about UK geography.

The car is rare,and many people put their EBay links here for the rare ones.

It appears talbir is away on a business trip and the 'buy it now' links may not be his, this may well be an ebay fraud

Wow, pimp my ride eh? I'm not keen on that steering wheel.
Middlesex is in London, pretty much. Or vice versa. Lords Cricket Ground, where Middlesex play is in London anyway.

What happened to Norsex anyway. There's Essex, (East) Sussex, (South) Middlesex (Middle), used to be Wessex (West) (according to Thomas Hardy) but no Norsex!

Oh, I forgot. Norsex please, we're British.

Its got an email address in the auction description - likely a scam.

Yeah, the links at the bottom of his listing for buy it now price are bogus!
I sent Talbir a message through "ask seller a question" and ebay sent me this reply:

That sounds like the standard blurb to stop people cutting a deal ex-communicado ebay. But the revisions do look a bit dodgy and I would not have clicked on them. I think it went for £2,850 which is astonishing really. Will be interesting to watch the feedback of fishmonks though its always difficult leaving a neg when you've got a good pos f/b yourself. I've had to bite my tongue a few times rather than have my 100% wrecked because some toady screwed me for a few quid or was economical with the truth.
