A few points...
M5Power - the rear bumper is missing. Also they've altered the aspect ratio of the picture.
eliseracer - It's a classic variation on "wronged wife sells Lamborghini/Porsche" story (also rehashed in "First Wives Club"). Note how the buyer hasn't received any feedback at all, the item sold after 5 minutes to someone nearby (Birmingham seller, Leicestershire buyer) and that there has been nothing in the reputable press about it either. Also the Esprit was registered in his wife's name? That's the stinkiest part of the whole story - WHY would you do that? Only two reasons - you've been declared bankrupt or you have a driving ban (the main driver in almost all cases MUST be the registered owner), and Tim Shaw has neither.
It's a stunt to get publicity for the radio station. That's all.
(and I read the Independant's article earlier. They AREN'T "reputable". Notice how the Times, Telegraph - hell, even the Guardian - don't carry it at all)
