That sort of vehicle whoever it the owner is, if it is a genuine article, the seller would provide heaps of details along with with more pictures.  I remember the M1 did have different wheels as standard to the ones shown in the picture.  If its is just a bodykit or some special edition (which can't ever recall there being) thsi would also be mentioned naturally.  There would also be a healthy reserve price tag as well.

I emailed two questions to the seller. I got back two blank emails. I can't help but feel there is something dodgy going on.

It doesn't look right and it doesn't sound right therefore it isn't right.

Either a wind up or someone trying to pass off a kit car as genuine.

I agree that there is something very dodgy about the auction, but as for car not being 'right', take a look at this...

Almost identical as far as I can see, even the colouring of the rear wing.

It's a hoax!

Look out for a KHG M1 - KHG bought all the parts from BMW and
continued to assemble them but were not allowed to use the BMW badge.
they're still worth shedloads though.

nasty isn't the word!
However, at least it wasn't the other way round where the M1 was converted to look like an MR2!

I've posted this up on a big Irish Forum here, but it does seem unusal that a rare car like that, is living in cookstown, and has a starting bid of £5,000

OMG

Is it just me or does it look nothing like an M1.

Why would anyone want to make their MR2 (which has a bit of credibility) into something that looks like that

You may well ask, but I have seen a Ferrari F50 on ebay for £330,000 advertised by a specialist company who take photo's and do the listing for luxury/high value items, they also vet the bidder before allowing them to bid. I know it's not the same thing, but you do get some amazing things on ebay!

As for this little beauty, I doubt it's a genuine ad, if you look, it says at the top 'bidder withrew item due to incorrect information' It was probably just a 1:18 scale model lol!
