I saw a cheap Mini Cooper for sale and apparently it is British registered but the seller and car is in Italy. He says he will ship it if I buy it but is this a scam?

Hi, I have recently seen a Mini Cooper advertised at £4000 on gumtree.co.uk. There was no contact number so I emailed the seller requesting further information on the car. He replied back with the following: "Hi there, First of all I have to tell you that the vehicle is in good condition, has no technical damage at all, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, no smoking. It's fun and robust to drive. Technical inspection and emissions testing is passed and stamped as well. It has title of ownership, cleared of any obligations or fees and comes with all the documents you need to register it. The reason I am selling the car is because I really have to, not because I don't like it anymore. I have worked in UK for the last 2 years and I've purchased the car there. My company wanted me back home, so currently I'm in Rome, Italy. I've bring the car home with me. I decided that is better to sell it because I don't use it anymore (the wheel is on right side and is very difficult for me to drive it in Italy) and it's a pitty to keep such a car and not to use it. I realize that is a cheap price for such a car but my special situation makes me do things that I wouldn't do in normal circumstances. I've wanted to register it here and keep it for me, unfortunately import taxes and European regulations made me change my mind. The price I am looking for my car is £3,800 including the shipping costs,insurance and handling(delivery to EUROPE). You will not have to pay additional taxes for this (VAT reclaimable). The car has MOT, Road tax until next year. Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have. Thank you." In a second email he told me he could have the car shipped to me. Is this a scam??
