Not been MOT'd since 2017 and with the amount of vehicles the person is selling they must own a car museum.
However, if it's a genuine ad then someone could be in for a bargain.

There’s a scammer that regularly posts a hundred or so vehicles, boats, caravans etc at a time using a hijacked account. There are normally quite a few Lotus in amongst these. You can spot them as the location is always just u.k., everything is very cheap and often all the same price and in the listing you are told you have to email the seller via email address in the description to buy and not through ebay.
I always report them as soon as I see them.

Looks like another (or perhaps the same) scammer has a new posting (svneilson). Similar ad's on other classic car ebay postings.
