The buyer will be kept up to date about the cars status on a daily basis either through telephone or via e-mail. Once the car has been titled the buyer has the option to pick it up or have it shippped to them at no cost. If the buyer would prefer to fly out to the United Kingdom to purchase the car in person that is not a problem. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us either using the contact form through ebay or by emailing us at "

It doesn't even have a title yet for the u.s. and....They give no information on how it passed dmv standards aswell as emissions.

Also seller has absolutely NO, feedback. Big no-no especially for a company that "specializes" in giving people their dream car.

Any sucker stupid enough to fall for this has probably already lost all their money to some earlier charlatan.

I'm sure it can be done at a price.
Been to South Florida!
Incidently, I think that photo is at a Jag dealer near the New Forest.

I did find the bit "If someone would like to fly over and buy it themselves" quite amusing.

I am a bit skeptical myself. However, I think it warrants further investigation. They claim that they won't be registering it as a kit-skipped sans engine/transmition-which seems a little odd. It's the only permenant loop-hole I know of. I know that there are a few griffs here, and have to assume that they were shipped and titled as kits. So, does anyone have anyclue how it could be done otherwise?

I couldn't help myself, so I ran a background check of the VIN. Pretty much, the VIN has been reported in accidents in the following US states: IL, CA, FL, WI, GA, WA, AZ, CT, OR, NV, TX, and IA.

Hello,

My name is Josh Anderson, I am the general manager for MDM Eurotics. This is a legit operation, we are working directly with racing green, you have the option to purchase either pre-configured vehicles(new), used vehicles, or custom order your 07 in left or right hand drive with the options and colors of your choice. You may make payment to either us or Racing Green directly. The car will be shipped to the US upon payment which takes ~ 4 weeks. Upon arrival the car will have a valid road legal FL title. The vehicle is not titled as a kit car or for show use, it is titled for road use and as a TVR. At that point the car will then be shipped to you or the location you specify upon payment. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Also the vin is not actually 11111111111111111 that is just used because ebay requires a vin.

Thank You,
Josh Anderson
MDM Eurotics

Tell us more about your company. Does TVR sanction you as dealer? What warranty cover do you offer?

I googled MDM eurotics and came across a Ferrari forum. Some on that forum have found the true sources of many of the photos on MDM Eurotics website. They even linked them with previous scams. Its all there to read. This young kid is a scam artist.

We are not an actual dealer seeing that TVR doesn't sell in the US. We work directly with Racing Green, you can make payment directly to them for the vehicle if you prefer it. You have the ability to custom order an 07 or purchase a pre-configured new/used version. You may contact Colin at Racing Green if you find any of this to be false. We have been importing cars for over 4 years which was mainly of JDM. We are now switching over to the exotic industry so we are going from skylines to TVRs. The vehicle does not have a warranty due to the fact that it is on US soil, we are currently working with Colin to find out what we can do in regards to if there were warranty issues.

As far as ferrarichat I do not see any "previous scams" my partner did not have a DBA for his previous company how is that a scam? They have turned nothing into nothing and are grasping at air trying to make us seem to be a scam, how are we scamming when we allow you to pay directly to TVR? As stated both parties enter into a legally binding contract upon purchase, you can have a lawyer review it if you do not believe so.

If anyone has any more questions please feel free to ask either here or you can email me at josh@mdmeurotics.com

Thank You,
Josh Anderson

How does MDM Eurotics facilitate making TVRs street legal in the US? "For Track Use Only" is never mentioned on your website or shut-down ebay listing.

"For track use only" is not mentioned because they are not titled for track use only. They are titled for legal road use. We can not go further into details in regards to how it is done due to the fact that if it was in the public domain everyone would be doing it.

The only information not in public domain are illegal avenues to bypass the crash testing and modifications needed to make most imports legal. Its not about secrets, but funding. If you have to swipe photos to use on your website, then you clearly have not brokered any deals. So, what evidence do you provide that you have the funding to import TVRs into the United States? TVRs are not Skylines.
