Don't waste your time. I put a 70's Austin Mini up for sale on the net
recently, and have received about half a dozen emails like this already,
all very similar but from different names. Some didn't even mention the
kind of car they wanted to buy; clearly a form letter.  Trust me,
they're all scams.  (That or there are an awful lot of people in Nigeria
etc. who suddenly are dying to own Austin Mini's and just happen to have
cashiers checks burning a hole in their pockets!)
