Right....Uncle Alan is definitely a scam merchant....beware
He has cropped up elsewhere, under a different user name now and different name and address
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/G-FORCE-RELIA...SwNMVac2y3
This time, he is Afeez Yussuf (good old anglo-saxon name!), in Oak Park dive (his spelling not mine!) in Havant Hants.
Lots of chaps selling very cheap cars and boats all seem to have an uncle called Alan.
Uncle Alan possibly waves a sharpened scimitar when approached, who knows, so best not go near him.

This scam is outrageous.
I know a thing or two about values of 3 wheelers....a Messerschmitt for £5500, a Grinnall Scorpion for similar....then a TR3B, now these are as rare as the proverbial...for £7500!
He must be relying on just one or two very silly people to agree a stupidly low price, then send a "buy it now" upload, the person pays in full or a nominated deposit by paypal, then the "seller" possibly has not only a deposit or full price for a non existent car, but has most likely hacked into the paypal account and stripped not just the contents but might also be able to hack into the backup bank account as well.
There are some real rogues about and ebay/paypal do not know how to control it.
