I've had the car for 6 years now, and all receipts and history from the previous owner. Should I be worried??
So long as the vin with XXXXX through it isnt stolen, though it still should have theoretically been out on a Q, but back then they prob werent too bothered/particular about it
not what i got told years ago.
as long as the new used shell has numbers in it,so they can determine the age,and as long as you use most parts of the donor vehicle,then it will go on an age related plate.
if no numbers in the shell,they don't know the year,so, it will go on a q plate.
i think it is the law for all cars to have chassis numbers in them too.
not sure about all these older cars with no numbers in them.
