Defo a scam as I actually fitted it for lad that bought it from Wax last year, it's also had the head modified since to fit under a carbon cowling.

Scamming b@5t@rds !!!

Nope is still there...but according to the description it's in the Shetlands.....

there's two other 'engines' listed for that seller but only the 260 has bids

Payment by electronic transfer, or collect from the Shetland Islands! Clever.........Not many scooterists out there, me thinks?

Think your engine may have been on ebay again, was watching it, but the listing ended early.

I saw that again as well.
Exactly the same advert as before & it's been running for a few days.
Bidding was up to about £1160 last time I saw it - then it suddenly ended.
Hope nobody got stiffed. :(
