I mailed him and asked for Reg No to Hpi check it and location so I could view before bidding. Here is his reply:

Hello there,
I know that you have many choices on eBay and I appreciate that you contacted me.Although I am registered in the UK, but I recently moved in GERMANY (where my family is from) and the car is being shipped from here. I made the auction for UK due to the fact it's UK version (right handed), meet all the UK standards, and its better to ship it where it belongs, that means UK, because here in GERMANY is very difficult to drive this type of vehicle, so i am trying to sell it as low as i can to complete the sale fast (my loss will be your gain). It still has UK registration, cos I didn't paid for GERMANY import taxes so it will be very easy for you to register the car in your country. Also the car is still registered there so you don't have to pay any import taxes or any other fees.The car meets United Kindom DOT and EPA guidelines so there will be no problems regarding UK Customs policy on receiving the car.The car is in a perfect cosmetic and engine conditions, and meticulously maintained. No damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, the engine doesn't smoke, runs and sounds awesome, the engine has never been repaired or something like that, never been into accidents and it is as advertised .The car comes with log book, HPI cleared, it is free of encumbrances and liens. You will get from me the keys and all documents to register the car in UK, and also a bill of sale in your name and signed by me.If the car is not how i described it, i will offer a full refund, upon the return of the item in original condition (return postage at my expense). It will be insured during transportation and will be delivered at your front door in maximum one week. Final price is £ 5,000.00 (this price includes the shipping and insurance).
I wait your final decision and I will contact ebay and tell them to contact you with the transaction details in order to buy under their PURCHASE PROTECTION & REFUND PLAN.
PLEASE DON'T PLACE A BID ON MY AUCTION UNTIL YOU RECEIVE ALL THE DETAILS REGARING PAYMENT AND SHIPPING.

Please email me with your EBAY ID before you bid.

Thank you!
