Yeh I have mailed him back just asking what exactly he wanted to know about the car. I thought he sounded a bit dodgy

That sounds ok with me,he just wants to ask you a few questions about your car.
How come you think that sounds abit dodgy?
Edit;
Just read your last post,it is abit weird that he saw your car on a site you havent been on,
Maybe a friend posted it on there?

Dodgey. No-one talks in txt typ, but also uses "Good day to u".
Next he'll tell you that it needs to be delivered from another Country.

Well he says something about seeing it on evo.co.uk
However I've never put the car on this website or even been on it

That says it all for me, claims to have seen it on a website when you have not put it on there, not to mention the way he has worder the e-mail, personally i would just delete the e-mail and not bother.

Tell him to meet you in Zimbabwe, as that's where you have the car stashed because you stole it from Mexicans and flew it cross-water.
Also call him Frank Dong. That'll be soooooooo funny.

Just edited my last post lol.
I wouldnt be put off just becuase he words stuff abit strange tho.He could be crap at english but live over here.At the end of the day if he wants to buy your car and gives you cash,who cares what how he writes stuff.

Yea its probably best to ignore it mate. I've heard of emails like this. They usally eventually ask to do some dodgy money transfer. Which basically turns to be some kind of money laundering.

Are you sure nobody has put a link on that site of your car?
He could of seen it on there,if someone did.
