Default Is this a scam?

Good morn,
I don't know much about the Amazon cars (I'm more of a 244 and P1800 bloke) but I'm always on the lookout for interesting projects. I saw this one on Car & Classic:

https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1365207

... 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?
