1973 911 T CIS on eBay. Doesn't seem a bad value at £37,800 shame it's in Cyprus.

We offer for sale Porsche 911T Coupe is a well-optioned matching-numbers example finished in its correct Silver Metallic. It was purchased by the seller in 2011 who commissioned a partial restoration including a professional repaint as well various mechanical work including rebuilt brakes and a resealed engine.The 1973.5 model was the last iteration of longhood production before the introduction of impact bumpers in 1974. These cars are distinguished in a number of ways, most notably by rubber bumperettes and CIS fuel injection. The seller was careful to retain as much originality as possible, leaving the interior untouched and keeping original paint where possible.
When purchased the car wore a poorly executed repaint that was lifting in many areas. The seller decided to leave the original silver paint in the door jambs and sills, but refinish the rest of the exterior. Finish is described as factory quality or better and the seller says it is a 9 out of 10. All panels are said to remain original as evidenced by unbroken paint around retaining bolts, the seller adding that panel gaps are excellent and that the car presents as super straight from all angles. All rubber body seals and weatherstripping has been replaced, and four genuine date-stamped Fuchs are currently on the car.
Leather seats were preserved by vinyl covers for many years and are worn but serviceable. The seller has consulted with several PCA experts about the interior and although the COA indicates that this car left the factory with leatherette, he believes leather could be original and says factory records might be inaccurate. All lights, switches and gauges work, however the factory A/C is inop despite being complete with all components. Note that the RS steering wheel currently shown will be replaced by the original upon sale.
Said to start, run and drive excellently, the car could benefit from new tires but the seller says the new owner should be comfortable adding miles immediately.

The advert doesn't feel right - sounds like a scam to me.

Why does Oscar's Auto/Andreas Imports & Restoration from Cyprus have an Ebay account registered in Yorkshire?

The pictures & description were 'nicked' from a BaT advert from when it was for sale in the US just over a year ago ...

I'm not too familiar with the scams. But given the car was said to be in Cyprus and the ebay seller in West Yorkshire (Mirfield) and previously sold a couple of Fossil watches through his account. Would this likely be a hacked account?
