Default YWC 587F Mk1 Escort Super, Scam?

Came across this car on ebay advertised at about 1/4 of the price is probably worth.

Did a bit of reasearch and in February this year on turbosport.com someone said it was a scam http://www.turbosport.co.uk/showthre...1+escort+super

I found this video on youtube
Posted in APRIL this year. And this is the advertisement for it... http://www.eagle-automotive.co.uk/so...-escort-super/

The car went off ebay this morning about 10ish as I was looking for it on ebay again. I think it was put on last night?, Anyway being at the price it was at it was either too good to be true and possibly is.

But how can somthing be reported as a scam? Then 2 - 3months later its for sale at some fancy dealers? Then back on ebay? As if its being used to be scammed, sold, then been bought and being scammed again? Poor car! The car obviously exists and its absloutly bloody gorgeous, worth 10 times the amount it was advertised! Anyone else had any experiance with it?

Surely someone must know somthing about it with it being the car it is!

the genuine car will be for sale or will have been for sale at some point in the past.

the scammers then use the pics/description to set up a scam add, even though they dont have the car.

We've been sent some detailed images of the car, which I cant find on any advert, the pictures are of the car in a street, with other cars and houses etc.
