GOOGLE 'MOTODOME' and you will realise why they're trying to move it through an auction type facility.

Indeed, I found this earlier. Check out the last couple of posts here:

I've seen many low price classified ads on ebay where the seller is new yet the car advertised may exist elsewhere. I'm convinced the ebay one is lifted from another classified source to try to lure the gullible (not just in this case.)

The ebay price is just too low in this instance. If something appears too good to be true then it probably is.

From what I can see both front wings have been painted and possibly the bonnet, also the OS rear wing. So it was rotten as a peach and possibly still is.
Goggles motodom and didnt find anything..... post the info so we can see it.

The fact that the seller registered as an ebay business seller on the same day that the listing appeared - and therefore has zero feedback - would ring extremely large alarm bells in my head. Also, by the way the advert is presented, its obvious whoever is behind the posting has traded on ebay before - which doesnt sit well with the zero feedback situation.
I would NOT trade with this person. Full stop.

Exactly.

And the ebay seller "appears" to be in Rugelely, Staffs, whereas the Pistonheads seller is Reading.

It's a right old "pen and ink".
