ya, that seems odd... and the seller has '0' feedbacks. Seller in IA, and car appears to have CA plates.

Last I saw, the owner was selling out of the Bay Area in Northern CA. Maybe a broker bought it and is now re-selling.

This car has the cleanest m20 swap I have ever seen.

that car was featured on the www.bringatrailer.com website a few months back. we can do some investigating and see if the owners the same.

Yes, very odd. Car is located in IA but ships only to UK.

Supposedly sold on Ebay here in June for $32k, out of San Ramon, CA.

I was curious about this and emailed the seller on eBay asking why it doesn't ship to the US.

His reply:

"Because this car is wanted in Europe and I will sell it for a better price"

"because there's a better chance the real owner would spot the cloned ad"!
