Hello Mike,

I would like to sell original 1965 AC Cobra CSX 2566.
Contact me if you are interested.

Best Regards,

Slava

Is it a "real" one? Sorry had to ask.

Sounds perrrrrfectly normal to me. %/ :JEKYLHYDE

Have you been putting any feelers out?

But wait........ If you order by midnight we'll ship not one but two..... Do you know this guy or a new Nigerian scam?

I know Slava; her "uncle" is the former Nigerian Finance Minister and he needs a way to get his "original" out of the country. You need to buy it for transfer to the states, then he buys it back (plus a generous fee) once he relocates....you know the story.

Bob B. is the only one I know of who could afford that.

I'll bet that baby has lots of torque.
Where would I park it?

Why not have some fun? Ask him what the engine number is.

Gregor Fisken sells some truly spectacular vehicles from his London base, and they currently have CSX2566 listed FISKENS Fine Historic Automobiles - AC Cobra - Car Detail .
Let me paste some information from Gregor's website as a comparison to an unsolicited spam email from a HOTMAIL account...!

Fiskens: the foremost specialist in fine historic automobiles, where the best cars in the world come to be sold.

Our reputation is built on three, rock-solid principles: knowledge, trust and discretion; for the most important vintage, classic or competition cars, the only match for our own passion is that of our customers.

The market for these iconic automobiles can be perplexing. Buyers and sellers are right to be wary of mediocre restoration or suspect provenance; public auctions come with their own risks and extraordinary costs. So when we founded our business, we decided our customers – buyers and sellers alike – must always be able to rely on our integrity, impeccable attention to detail, and unparalleled expertise. We separate fact from fiction, the best from the merely adequate, and we always represent our clients’ cars correctly.

Our central London showrooms and headquarters are famous fixtures of the collector’s car landscape. Yet Fiskens is not about ‘front’. We develop close relationships with discerning collectors – we share their well-informed enthusiasm for spectacular cars of all eras. We have a talent for taking the hassle out of deals, however many cars are involved; we simplify issues of complex international ownership, ensuring satisfaction for both buyer and seller alike.

Many of our customers become firm friends, choosing to come back time and again. Our belief at Fiskens is that buying and selling old cars should be fun. Owning them should satisfy; driving them should thrill.

Slava's "knowledge, trust and discretion" seem to have taken a beating all at once!

Well, I have egg on my face! There are so many scam offers like this and so few legitimate ones that I took it as another in a long list joke.
My apologizes to Mr. Lanush and to Mr. Fiskens.
Larry

Larry, I'm only pointing out where the car is legitimately for sale and how that legit seller seems poles apart from our new Hotmail friend. If be horrified if an email from a Hotmail account was used by someone from Fisken's sales team.

Lanush has a LinkedIn profile summary that makes no mention of being a specialty car broker. He makes multiple mention of his high IQ score, so maybe he'll make fools of us yet...

I am quite certain that Fisken's does not employ anyone who can't speak proper English to assist them in selling any of their inventory. Slava Lanush is apparently attempting to sell what he does not own.

Interesting. Mike, what did your email actually say? Did he represent himself as an agent of the seller?

Sure looks like he does.
So Mr Lanush, are you an agent of the seller for this car?
