Because the owner did something wrong

If the new owner want a few gaps filling in, such as how long it has been layed up I'll tell them that.

I'm not going to disclose confidential information

I'm not going to say whose it was, what they did, if they are in prison etc..

What I will say is bid bid bid, somebody will get a bargain, even if it goes to 30k.

How do the police get all the history/paperwork when they seize a car?

The owner was happy to turn it all over?

He would have to on a confiscation order as the price they get for it will be taken of his bill so if he gets £30k that will be taken of his bill..

If he wasnt helpfull and they only got £10 then thats all he would get..lol

Alps good luck mate

So is it 15k or 115k miles, and why was it valued at £20k since other cars of greater miles sell for lots more.

since its a catagory N it will be worth less, some times 1/3 of the value lost, hence 20k value IMO

well known concourse car?

police seized cars can be anything from drugs to money owed from other matters non sinister

The 20k figure and how it was arrived at is irrelevant here, what ever it goes for at auction is its value.

Somebody please hpi it, I'm 90% sure it is hpi clear.
