What's interesting is if you check his feedback, it appears that he deals in
selling cars and some parts on eBay. Two other sales were: 1959 AH3000 for
$23K and a 1958 Mercedes 300D for $25K. Still doesn't explain $26K for the
TR250 but as P.T.Barnum once said....."there's one born every minute"

No, I don't. It's some sort of scam, no one would actually pay that much
for a tatty TR250.

That's because there is no such thing. The whole reason for the existence
of the TR250 is because the TR5 could not meet US emission regulations.
There have been a few LHD TR5s find their way to the US though ... legend
has it that one enterprising fellow was ordering them for delivery in
France, then disassembling them, shipping them to the US as parts, then
reassembling and selling them here.
