Paint code O should be yellow ochre but that appears to be painted yellow glo???. Wrong VIN??
Pretty safe to say its a Replica or a scam.
Looks pretty quality though.
Edit - as stated above.

Scammers aren't just using Ebay anymore... Bet you the car is in Germany or something... It's the same old story...
