you can't really blame the bidders though, not everybody has all the knowledge to buy a genuine car.

Obviously that is a ridiculous use of a dodgy log book and if the DVLA see it they would scrap it.

But where would you stand if you bought the car and approached the DVLA explaining you had bought the car, realised it was a tax dodge and wanted to put it right and ask for a correct age related plate? Would they say no and take it off you or accept it and issue you a new plate?

Just a thought, but perhaps that guy is legit but stupid and was conned when he bought it. Either that or he is REALLY stupid putting it on ebay like that.

it must cost a fortune to insure, a 1000cc 60's car. imagine listing EVERY SINGLE modification

I'm still waiting for someone to say 'it's not hurting anyone, what's the problem?'

It's just a shame that there are bidders at all, because when the auction ends in a little over 4 days time one of them is going to have been had big time.

Looks like he buys and sells a lot of cars, so I would suspect he's not entirely innocent.

Didn't notice that. Looks like he falls into the really stupid category then.

The law always says that ignorance is no excuse.
That is just so blatant, just like the blue car recently discussed (at length).

[oltonlad]

i messaged the seller about my thoughts of his dodgy mini and he replied with a snotty message saying that if i was not bidding then i should keep my thoughts to myself.

here is my reply to him.

i was only letting you know...........also the vin number of that car will be stamped into the bodyshell in at least 4 different places (as all mini's were after around 1991) so if that car is subject to a dvla inspection then the real identity of that car will be revealed. i trust that you will let the winning bidder know this before their new car is impounded and crushed!

[Carlos W]

Is the 1996 car actually stolen?

I'm sure if you bought it and took it to DVLA you'd lose it if they found out it was nicked

Isn't there a way of putting messages visible to others
