How about contacting ebay and letting them know that the seller has been informed as to the provenance of the model and, if he does not change the description, he is deliberately wrongfully describing the item 

I wouldn't waste your time if I were you.

On another Forum, we noticed a vehicle for sale on EBay which we knew had been clocked, by about 75,000 miles. We had documentary evidence to corroborate this fact. 15 members of the forum got in touch with EBay and they did...

That usually just means 'not available new' - the fact that there were thousands made fairly recently, or even that there are several others listed on ebay at the same time, doesn't seem to come into it!
