WTF? This cant be real....

It may well be, but having met the reserve at only £10,100.00 something is amiss.

Wouldn't be the first anyway - there was one in Tesco's car park in Redditch yesterday. OK it was LHD but UK registered.

It would be amongst the first actually sold.

It's pretty common for ebay to have pre-ordered cars on sale. All you are buying is the production allocation - it's quite late in the day when you actually have to specify colours, spec etc.

I think some people make a pretty decent profit on this stuff - the selling price on ebay is irrelevant in this case as the guy is planning to take 7.5% of the vehicle sale price, which AIUI means the auction price comes off the vehicle sale price.

I'd rather have one of these for much the same number of pounds.

I'm not sure what the bid on the first item is for - I can only assume it's a premium you pay the dealer for the privilege of being first off the blocks with a shiny new model in April.

That is an impressive bit of kit!. I'd be interested to see exactly how 2 v8's work together.

Coupled through the Transfer box, I'd imagine. Not difficult, there were early WWII american tanks (Sherman?) which used a Chrysler Multibank engine, basically 5 4-cylinder engines mounted together, coupled on the back with large gearwheels.

That one is the recovery variety, NOT the missile launcher. And it does't say anything about the missile being included eiter. WHat a blatant rip off !

That one is the recovery variety, NOT the missile launcher. Sorry to pedantic, but its a resupply vehcile, not a recovery version.

You can buy them in Poland for about £1000 (8000 Zloty), still have to drive it home though!
