Thank you for all your e-mails, i have removed the car from ebay as i didnt know all the facts and history with the car, as one guy from scotland has rightly said the car was a pile of shit when i got the car, fuck all worked inside, alloys were shabby, All the faults have been repaired and ive spent a shit load of cash on parts, Im not sure what to do now anyone got any ideas? cossie owner ps the car does drive and run perfect now !!!

Hi all well the plates under the bonnet are fine they ar new, its the floor number that can`t be replaced, as they are reverse stamped on the production line,
Bummer There is number in the floor which looks fine its just stamped from the top not the bottom,
All help will be gladly recived

I'd shift it on cheap, I know you've spent a lot of money on it, but it's either bite the bullet or keep it.

If it's cheap enough then somebody will buy it as a track car etc....

Or throw it back on ebay with a little history - explaining the work you have done and that it had a problem in the past but was recovered, not recorded and has been brought up to a high standard by a mechanic.

Good luck, and if it's cheap enough I would consider it

Put it back on ebay but tell everyone the history of the car. Or pay Ł20 to be a goldmember off passionford and sell it on here People dont mind buying a stolen recovered car if it is priced correctly it is when you buy a car that you dont know is stolen recovered and it comes to light later on, Thats the bummmer.

Advertise it with the new-found information or break it for spares. You could probably make 8-10k breaking it for spares!

Alternatively, keep advertising it at the price you want and someone will always come along who may not be bothered about the cars history and just want the car for what it is now..

Good luck with the sale. Very big of you to come on here and answer the questions. A lot of people wouldn't have been so honest.

Respect to you mate. Hope you get the price you need.

Hi everyone.
I've just bought this car and I'm very pleased with it!
I HPI'd the car and spoke to the Police Officer who dealt with it when it was recovered in the Midlands and everything ties up.
It does have a few little dinks in the bodywork but the engine is as sweet as a nut.
The reason I bought it was because it seemed a shame to tanish such a great car because of some thieving tw*t!!!
Anyway, I just thought I'd let everyone know that she now has an owner who'll take good care of her.
