It's nice that they make a point of noting that the car comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. However, they did forget to mention if it comes with a Power Unit. I don't see an exhaust coming out of the back so I guess not.

I see that, as of the time I post this, the top bidder is Russian. Is Niki the Spin's dad buying him a birthday present?

Sorry Cossie no engine. 

It clearly states in detailed description 'This is a rolling car with electronics, steering and suspension, without engine.'

Mind you they will put a particular driver's livery on it for you - or none.
