I can't get it to come up on the DVLA database.... Could just be a bit of a sick Joke, a blue RR with those plates on.
*Comes up on the RAC website though*

Nope the car was kept, at the end of Rise Of The Footsoldier it stated that the car was sold on but in the summer months the new owners complained of a bad smell(rotting flesh and blood). It was stored somewhere for years. Must still be about.

If you click on the link the seller has and look at the pictures of the car they are really gruesome!
Car should have been scrapped imo.

I can't see this being the real car, 4 people got murdered in it, Chances of the police scrapping/crushing it when they was finished with it, are high!

Don't think so. I've been offered cars people have commited suicide in and all kind of nasty things. I'd never buy anything like that, though. Would freak me out completely.

Once police is finished with investigation they try to get money out of it. Most probably it got some professional cleaning (the disinfection kind of stuff) and was then put on one of those police car auctions...

Hence why i said above that it doesn't come up with the DVLA, someone else can check to see if I'm wrong.

Personaly I don't really see the historical value in that car, just another couple of the boys gunned down.
There are hundreds of cars like it, wouldn't want those either.

Have owned a very famous car belonging to a kidnapped captain of industry and have been offered the car that belonged to one of the kidnappers...would have taken that if I still had the first car lol

What a shite piece of histroy, not as if nobody gets killed these days, happens every bloody day.

I reckon if a car do do with one of the crays came up on Ebay some people here would try to buy it, jus so they could lick the seats while masturbating over their heros

It never fails to amuse me, people that see the 'romance' in crime.

Nothing romantic about it IMO and as for idolising certain criminals who are said to be:

'sounds geezers' 'warm-hearted and kind' and 'generous'

if you believe that you really are a mug!

If it is the real one i doubt there is much that is orignal on it, firing a shot gun through it is not going to leave much of it untouched.

Probably end up being bought by someone who watches Essex Boys, Lock Stock, Snatch and RotF too much, talks with a fake Essex accent, AND a fake "Saarf" London accent, wears too much gold and generally thinks they are the "gangster" type, when in reality work a 9-5 in a printing firm
