rick the cheepo hpi don't insure the info like the aa etc, i would not pay 3 quid on a expensive car when you could get fookin done over if the car is a ringer/clone.
this is why i like to buy from auctions as you get a proper in voice and cover by a indemnity if things ever go tits up

mojo it was more than 15 quid in the 80's

auctions don't like smart arses and you would end up paying
1 a entry fee
2 commission
3 delivery costs

also try running a car through a auction that your unsure of and you can end up with it being returned as auctions don't a lot of the time hpi until the car has left the premises if it shows up as say v car
