Hi there,
First of all I have to tell you that the vehicle is in good condition, has no technical damage at all, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, no smoking. It's fun and robust to drive. Technical inspection and emissions testing is passed and stamped as well.
It has title of ownership, cleared of any obligations or fees and comes with all the documents you need to register it. The reason I am selling the car is because I really have to not because I don't like it anymore.
I have worked in UK for the last 2 years and I've purchased the car there. My company wanted me back home, so currently I'm in Rome, Italy. I've bring the car home with me. I decided that is better to sell it because I don `t use it anymore (the wheel is on right side and is very difficult for me to drive it in Italy) and it `s a pitty to keep such a car and not to use it.
I realize that is a cheap price for such a car but my special situation makes me do things that I wouldn't do in normal circumstances.
The price I am looking for my car is £2,600 including the shipping costs,insurance and handling(delivery to EUROPE).
You will not have to pay additional taxes for this.
The car has MOT, Road tax until next year.
Please feel free to email or call me with any questions you may have.
My phone no. is: 0039 3285-519-991, I am available in the morning before 10 AM, in the afternoon I am at work so will get back to you by email.

This is just wrong isnt it, or is it not. Never bought a car before (except from a friend/local garage) so is this right?!
 
SCAMMMM!!! It's not like UK cars are even hard to drive in Europe. There is about a 5% chance this is not a scam but why risk your money/health?
 
just take a quick look here at some similar emails.

Could be genuine, but I'd certainly not risk it.

If you want to prove it further, ask about making payment and see how close the wording is the emails on that forum. Big chance they'll be similar! :)
 
It's a scam, you can tell it's a scam becuase it's been copy and pasted from an Ebay ad at some point, just check out the style of writing in the advert.
