Just asked the owner of this for the reg for the database...got email back

"The reg is c446tpm (you have a picture of it scrapped). It was re-shelled
and now in excellent condition."

RINGER !!!



Buyer ID's private too, so can't even tell them...

 

Link doesn't work

 

Does now mate..copy didn't copy-right

 

Cheers

 

Here she is in October (!!) sat in the scrapyard

More pics of it on this page...

 

 

That's a bit dodgy!!!! Someone is going to get stitched up

 

if he had reshelled it there wouldn't be any rust, and you think if it had beenr esprayed 10 days ago they would of sorted out the paint work

must be a member of here if they knew you had a picture of it?

 

I sent them the link to the database: adds credibility and doesn't look dodgy when I'm asking for the reg.

 

looks pretty fresh under the bonnet aswell

 

Somebody should send him a pic of the one in the scrappy and say explain this Chump.

 

He stated in the original post the bloke said you have a picture of this scapped.

 

Well its still not the original car, aint worth a light.

 

Im sure u can also tax car with just green bit of v5.

 

who's to say he didnt get it from the scrappy and restored it ??

 

I think this photo shows that it's beyond restoration

 

i want to visit THAT scrapyard!!

 

Me Too!!!!!!!

 

me 3! whres that scrapyard?

 

RINGERRR I STRIPED THAT CAR!!!

 

there not at the scrapy any more dude

 

plus the guy at the scrapy wont even let u touch it so i dout he'd bought it from there i saw it lying in the back 4 days ago lolllll

 

so whats the outcome then? someones cars been nicked and taken this scrappers identity?

 

yes sounds like it who evers gonna buy it is gnna be sorry

 

Well I just asked him for the reg aswell and also what security it had fitted for the insurance purposes, just so it didnt look iffy and he come back with this
Response from lazee-guy
lazee-guy( 97)

"c644tpm only has a immobiliser fitted - nothing the insurance companies would be interested in though"

So what do you make of that? Someone's read the reg wrong somewhere!!

Just done a vehicle check, came back with this

Vehicle details could not be found
As it has not been possible to locate the vehicle details, your enquiry cannot proceed and has been cancelled.

 

HE did..did you not read my initial post?

"The reg is c446tpm (you have a picture of it scrapped). It was re-shelled and now in excellent condition."

Not restored...

macturbo: I think he's just replied to you with the numbers the wrong way and should have read 446: he said I had a pic of it in the scrapyard, so that to me is deffo 446.

 

but butt butttt the one in the scrapy had everything in it ahh sod it lol he must of bought the id off that one to reshell and rebuild hmmmm

 

right im getting lost . to make a car a re-shell , does it mean he has got a car with no id and then put the engine etc from the c446 car in this ??

if you stripped it what happened to the shell ??

how has the seller got a log book for it ??

what counts as a reshell ??

im not hot on all this business any one want to explain the easy version

if i reshell my car i would still have the original shell but that doesnt make my new car a ringer does it ??

show do you do a real reshell properly on the paperwork side of it .
i understand a ringer is a stolen car that has a legal reg etc put on it ?

 

im confussed my self

 

For all we know, it could be any MK3 shell, the one he has now, might have been a 1.3, 1.4, might have been a 3i shell which is now turned into the S1 in the advert, what he has done, is got another mk3 shell, and put the ID of the original trashed car, (the one on the top of the stack) onto the new shell.

 

He could have used a 1.3 shell (for example) with number plate A123BCD. Tranfered all of the S1 equipment over, interior/ exterior/ mechanics, etc then put the S1 number plate & VIN onto the 1.3.

Or, as said, he could have stolen a S1 already, then changed the VIN and number plates to match the scrapped car.

Read this page for info on re-shells and how cars keep their original number plates and how you go about registering it legally via DVLA:

If YOU reshell your car, you may still have the original shell, but you cannot legally transfer it's numbers across. That's a ringer.

 

call the FBI

 

SaqsS2turbo Perhaps you should visit the scrapyard and let the owner know about this ??

Unless he already knows..if you know what I mean??
Are the seller and scrapyard in same location?

 

nope the scrappy is way off the map compared to the seller i think il pay the scrapy guy a visit and let him know

 

 

under cover mission

 

Somethings dodgy somewhere ??

But come on seriously out of all the restored s1 do you honestly beleive that theyve all kept the original shell ??
What im trying to say is a mk3 escort hardly the hardest shell to change its id considering many have had new floor panels inner/outer sills etc replaced sads to say realy

 

Double that!!

 

Call the CIA
