... would I be right in thinking it is a scam? It seems a bit improbable (to me) that someone might have owned a nice old car like this for 8 years then moved overseas and misplaced the V5, that there might be only be one photo of an historic car and that the registration plate doesn't seem to exist on the MoT history register... and probably more.

I'm guessing this is just a photo taken from someone else's restoration with a made up story by a chap wanting the cash to be transferred to his Nigerian bank account?
Seems like a accurate description but then the moved abroad, no V5 and a good price. Would want to inspect the car, the rear is the hardest area to fix but that is a very good price for a estate.
