Anyone know this Kobra on eBay?

I won the bid on this but the seller isn't replying to me with where to pick it up:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/116000320884?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=cN8gTfBHSne&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=94GDXqaaTzq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Anyone know the car or the seller?

Description is very odd, assume they bought the salvage at auction and know nothing about it

Registered as a BMW 28i not a z3 so assume correctly registered.

Written off a few years ago, which I assume afterwards it had the kit fitted

Then written off again more recently I assume for the damage pictured

Would really like to get it home but the seller is not responding! I'm thinking they aren't happy with the winning bid....

I followed the auction and did manage to contact him to ask a few questions. Very slow to respond and didn't answer all my questions. This car had already sold a couple weeks ago for 2800 but the buyer couldn't go ahead with the purchase hence it being relisted.
I think it was a Cat N so cosmetic damage only. It is bit of a bargain being a low mileage 2.8 manual donor car and the grp will be an easy and cheap fix if you do it yourself.
I would assume the 2000 pound starting price was his reserve so keep on at him about collecting the car and paying cash, I'm sure he will get back to you !
You might want to double check the V5, it should really be something like,
" Tribute Kobra " or similar. It should be a simple paperwork change with DVLA if you need it to be done.
Good luck with the rebuild !

Did you manage to get the car off the seller in the end ?

No, too many alarm bells were ringing. As I would have had to get it picked up I did not want to risk paying without having it front of me.

If I was near enough to pick it up myself I wouldn't hesitate,
