Since it is the text that counts, more than the photo, I'm pasting in the list for people:

Two TR3s for restoration - or can be used as donor cars for other projects.  Plus hundreds of parts.

These are all presently in Johannesburg South Africa, offered by a friend who has been restoring classic cars for many years and is now retiring.  A list of most (but not all) of the parts is shown below.  I have another +-50 photos which I will send if required by email or whatsapp - email better as more details seen in larger picture on PC.

Please be sware the year1959 and the registration date shown in the descrpition are not accurate. This information was entered as the listing would not complete without something being entered in the fields.

Asking price includes shipping and clearing costs, and any VAT/duty payable in the UK. After shipping, collection from Tunbridge Wells, or delivery to purchaser by negotiation.

Anyone interested who has a representative or relative in South Africa is welcome to have the goods viewed on their behalf.  Or if you prefer to look at the goods yourself, the seller is prepared to refund up to £500 (proven) airfare from the selling price - no refund for looking but not buying. 

After an offer is accepted, a deposit of 20% will be required with the balance paid in full on collection or before delivery if delivered. Due to the nature of this transaction, and that the seller will have to pay shipping and other costs involved, the deposit will not be refundable if a buyer subsequently reneges on the deal. I and/or the seller am/is quite happy to enter into a binding contract drawn up in respect the sale/purchase of the goods up by an appropriate person - and pay half of any reasonable cost involved.

If you want the additional photos sent to you, please send your phone number or email address to me on 07747 655315. I will also provide contact details for the seller if you wish to have the goods inspected by someone in SA. 

South Africa presently under lockdown. I am told this might be lifted on 15th June to a level that allows shipping agents etc.to operate. I would say arrival of the goods will probably be about 6-8 weeks after all sale/purchase details agreed - subject to lockdown dates.

Sounds like a bargain apart from having to fork out for a barn to store everything in!

Makes me wonder if it's a scam?

[Richardtr3a]

Why does the eBay link give Tonbridge Wells as the location ??

It says he is acting as an agent go between friend of seller.
