Default anyone dealt with these guys before?

hi,
I have only recently joined and as previously mentioned I don't current have a Scooby but im looking for a classic shape. Im keeping a close eye on the various classified adds, ebay / gumtree and other internet based outlets.

I have seen on ebay a company called TBM International based in South end on sea. They claim to buy/ sell/ fix and repair Scooby's as well has having a side line business selling spares from cars they have broke,
sumitspares@gmail.com one of their cars currently on ebay is item number 221276460791 if this makes them easier to find. Im just wondering, most of their sales seem to be low mileage imports around 70-80k, with claimed 300bhp, rust free and super straight bodywork. they do seem cheap though? has anyone had any dealing with them or know of them? on the face of it there cars see to "tick all my boxes" but I need to know if they should be avoided.

thanks

Be wary, TBM.co.uk 'account suspended'. No reviews, no other info on this company. Using a g mail internet address as well...smacks of a bunch of amateurs, possibly worse.

thanks.... I did wonder, just seemed very cheap, especially when they are claiming to included cambelt change/ service or even new head gaskets in the price on some of their adds.
