Perhaps the vendor is working abroad but happy to ship it upon receipt of payment ?
the 0-62 mph time is a tad optimistic and the phones attached to a fax machine
Great news! I've had a reply.
First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my car. I've almost reached an agreement with a potential buyer. Unfortunately, it looks like there are some problems and he doesn't have all the money to pay, for the moment. It is in extremely good condition,100% HPI Clear, full service history. Currently I am on a business trip to France and will have to stay here for about 6 months (this is why I am selling the car for a low price and I am looking for a fast sale to finance the french project ). I left the car in G.M. Transport custody and they will handle the sale for me. The V5 log book is already signed on my behalf, the car will come with 2 keys, all service records and previous MOT's. G.M. Transport will deliver the car directly to your home address and I will pay all delivery expenses.Let me know if you are interested and I will give you more details.
Thank you,
Amelia
I'm not one to say "I told ya so" 
Shame as she thinks she's already sold it.
But I guess if that sale really does fall through then I'm still in with a shout. After all she's offering to have the car delivered to me and there would be no problem having the cash standing by for when G. M. Transport arrives with the car and all that lovely paperwork.
After all, what could go wrong??
It's always best to pay via bank transfer without having seen the vehicle first ! (after all it's a bargain so only fair)
That will eliminate any risk at all Mark
Thanks for that tip Neil.
Gosh, I hope that other sale does fall through.
We live in hope buddy !
The really clever versions of this will send you a link to the 'GM Transport'' website where it will appear to be a legitimate operation (like, say, DHL) where you can even enter tracking numbers to check your shipment. The seller will give you the name and contact number of a person there so that you can discuss the shipment. When you call and tell them the car registration number, they will pretend to fumble around many other V5 documents looking for yours and then they will email you a copy with some contractual paperwork seemingly stamped by a French notary solicitor. Then the seller will ask you to transfer money to a Sanish bank....
Ask for a copy of the signed V5 and see what happens....

I expressed some serious interest by email via the Pistonheads website and asked when I could come to look at the car.
Sadly, no response as yet
