 i got in contact with the owner he also sent some photos
in Benindorm but i want you to know from the begining that the engine is at a shipping company custody but i can send it to your home address in 3-4 working days.Is in excellent condition and works perfectly,it has the technical book and all papers.I will send it to your home address,you will be able to inspect it( and the papers)and if there is something you don't like about it in any way you can simply send it back on my expense, (no extra money for you).Please let me know if you are still interested.

It appears to be a scam:
1) the goods are in a foreign country, advertised on a mainly UK website.
2) the goods are not viewable. You cant see them, and a friend/agent of yours in the foreign country cant see them for reason x.
3) cast iron guarantee - if you dont like the goods, I'll accept them back no issue. just post them back for full refund.
4) the price does not reflect the value of the goods.
5) transfer by western union or similar.
6) payment via a third party due to reason x.
Two out of six is suspicious. This one rings four bells.

This is definitely a scam as I received the same emails and was asked to proceed with the transaction but I checked the flash website out http://eurotrans-globetrotter.eu/ and the contact information and it was all fake. Looks like they have tried to do this before with a slightly different website name
