[Scrooge]

Would be very nice to have that log book.

 

[Goodj]

It'll make point-5 past light speed

 

[Gally]

Offft! Those details will be on a 30k car easily once it's on a shell.

If not more tbh

 

[Craigus]

WTF? £7,000K?

 

[Scrooge]

WTF? £7,000K?

Yep they are not buying the car they are buying it's identity.

 

[Gally]

If not more tbh

Indeed. I just remember the last mk1 I seen was around 30k.

 

[Craigus]

Yep they are not buying the car they are buying it's identity.

Understand. I. Don't.

 

[Scrooge]

Another car, will have that RS1600s VIN plate riveted to it.

 

[Craigus]

Is that legal?

 

[Scrooge]

I'm not entirely sure, I've done it once with a mini as it was completely rotten. It's just like a re-shell isn't it.

 

[daydotz]

looks like one of them abandoned cars on that other thread

 

[Bluebeard]

Look at the date he aquired it on the logbook...

He's blatantly found that in a barn and is now going to be laughing all the way to a bank.

 

[Struggler]

is it illegal to sell a chassis plaque and v5 without the car??

 

[Bluebeard]

No idea but I know someone that does it!

 

[gti6steve]

Some one is going to have big earn with that

 

[Struggler]

35 bids to a nice round £9,000.

for what is in essence, a metal plaque and piece of paper!!

Once paired with a decent shell it'll be worth North of 30k.

 

[.GAZ.]

What a waste of cash!

 

[Gally]

Or a shrewd investment.

 

[Šįk]

Ino someone who did this with a Porsche and made a killing ££££

 

[Gally]

It's definitely not illegal as the other shell with be re-registered (like a Q plate idea) Old one will never see the road again.

is it illegal to sell a chassis plaque and v5 without the car??

nope, perfectly legit

just like selling every part off a car apart from the vin plate & logbook

 

[Tony Hunter]

Believe it or not,that was a bargain.

 

[midge]

It is illegal, its called ringing.

 

[Gally]

It is illegal, its called ringing.

Are you mental? Do you think if it was illegal he would have spent 9k?

Jesus H!

 

[jamesd1263]

It's not illegal if done correctly, it is illegal if your swapping about vin plates and so on for the hell of it

 

[.Stevo.C.]

9k flol.

 

[Scrooge]

Bargain in the end

 

[-Jason-]

Uber cheap for that.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Utter bargain.

Those that think it was expensive clearly do not understand the following phrase:

'Speculate to accumulate'

 

[Dunn]

someone will be doing a wheeler dealers special with that and will be quids in (Y)

 

[midge]

Yes, Gally, ringing cars is illegal.

 

[Gally]

Yes, Gally, ringing cars is illegal.

Yes, yes you're right this is EXACTLY like ringing a car.

FS!

 

[midge]

So what part of putting the vin and plate on another shell make it not like ringing a car?

 

[Gally]

Just out of curiosity do you think he paid 9k for something that would make another car illegal?

 

[midge]

YES, put vin and plate on a good mk1 shell - £20k clear profit, theres a reason the number plate and full vin isnt in the advert.
What part of putting a vin on another car do you think is legal?

when you reshell a car, its been done countless times in the car repair salvage business, its common practice with the heavy smashed cars, for example one which has had the side or backend crushed would be easier to reshell it than weld a backend (cutnshut) on the mint front or side

its ONLY when you steal a car or get a stolen shell and then use that to repair your car which is classified as illegal, if you purchase the shell legit (for example off the chap shifting the cup shell on here) there's defo nothing illegal or wrong doing that


:approve:

I'm out. You clearly have the brain of a 4 year old.

Lets have the look of the members who said it was a bargain and those that said it was expensive. I think we can see who's right.
