Your car gets stollen your insurance paid out go and buy another one simples, you keep reporting these and theres going to be less escorts on the road just sold a log book and plates to a well respected member on here on my road down to Swindon in the last couple of days

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought this practice was illegal ?

It is.

Here we go again!!!

cant really see how this will cause a rise in stolen escorts,most cars are unique to the owner/builder with certain repairs/modifications done to the shells that would make them easier to recognise if they showed up with a new i.d.

Shocking attitude

interesting to see peoples different views on ringing cars

[top ghia]

It seems to me that opinions on this subject are split, which considering this is a forum for like minded enthusiasts I am surprised by.
I would have expected this sort of thing to be universally condemned on a site like this. This sort of thing could lead to the theft of a genuine car. But i don't see how it will increase the amount of Escorts on our roads, It just leads to someone like me buying a car (at a price premium thinking its a genuine sport) only to have what is in fact is an 1100 reshell.
And yes as we all know its illegal.

What would happen if i then turn up on the lakes tour in my fake sport? I suppose all the experts on here would take great delight in pulling my car to bits! Some of whom seem to think this practice is not only OK but actively indulge in it!

I had often thought that buying a car from a member on here would be the safest option to avoid being stung, the more of these threads i read the less i believe that to be the case.

It would be a completely different story if their car was Stolen then rung.

shocking that ebay lets this happen week in week out , if your car got nicked and some **** got a log book, paints it and is back on the road with your pride and joy .. you would soon be unhappy with the sale of log books
