Clearly it's not trading.

What company would set up a website with a name completely different to its trading name ?

See here

http://www.conquestequipment.net/page/home

They've copied the content from another legitimate website and 'mongrelised' it with different details of a real UK company and added their own contact details.

Lazy and sloppy work.

Very interesting document turned up here

The page has now been removed (so it's a good thing I saved a copy).

That same machine has been offered for sale in India with a location given as Switzerland.

Now using the domain - conquest-machinery.com

The scam website's gone.

Guess what ? I kept a copy of that too.

I have to view their use of a domain privacy service with some amusement.

They're not Chinese

I know an awful lot more about the scammer behind this than he would like me to know about him, but unless and until a victim comes forward there's not a lot I can do with the information except watch out for similar examples.

Make sure anyone offering machinery for sale knows you won't lay out a cent before you've viewed it, whatever reasons he gives as to why you can't do that. If a person offering machinery for sale hasn't made arrangements for people to view his goods, then he's a scammer.
