That does sound too cheap by a country mile so as the saying goes " if it sounds cheap it is for a reason"

i'm not saying that this is the case with this mini, nor that there is anything iffy about it (just covering myself) but i've know of several minis of 'value' that have been genuinely exported, the car is exported to southern ireland and then exported to it's destination country and is registered out there. sometime later, year or so, the 'car' comes back to the uk from 'southern ireland' and gets re registered over here.
hey presto, two cars with the same id and no one is the wiser.

I found a listing over here for a 1963 Ford F100 pickup for C$5000. Was highly suspicious as by the pic the truck was worth twice that at least. Sent an email anyway just for fun. Another poorly-written scam response from someone who clearly hadn't much grasp of which vehicle he was replying about, which listing I'd responded to, or even Canadian geography.
Or I could be wrong...I mean, it seems completely logical that someone owning a 50 year old fully restored truck would urgently need to move from Winnipeg to Greece, and that the shipping company took the car to St. John's, Newfoundland for storage (nearly 5000km). I mean, he did send me that ebay-lookalike page link where I could purchase the "car" guaranteed!
