Would you mind sending the link to the ebay posting?  This could be
interesting.  The stock TR250/6 setup is a 2 pot with a solid rotor. 
There is a cross-drilled rotor available (no increase in diameter) for
our cars which requires no mods, Moss sells it.  Then there is the neat
"junkyard upgrade" using the Toyota pickup 4 pot caliper, which retains
the stock rotor (or use the Moss cross-drilled rotor).  And on the more
expensive side, suppliers in the UK make a 4 pot caliper conversion
with a vented rotor, and I believe the rotor is larger diameter than
stock.
