The above link is to a vehicle for sale on eBay. The seller freely admits ringing the identity to another vehicle and a willingness to put a false identity on the sale item.

Thank you for your email - Can you please advise if this refers to any location in Sussex and if so, what address.
Good to hear they know how to follow web-links. 
me said:
The eBay listing states Crawley. Would you like me to bid on it to get a full address?
Sussex Police said:
The bidding has now ended however the local officers have details of the seller and the article that was for sale so they will make further enquiries.

Has this lovely Honda Civic been posted yet?
What is wrong with that? Kit car which use all the key running gear from a single donor car are allowed to keep the original registration, at least they were when I built one back in the Eighties.loafer123 said:

I like the "Still a B-reg Civic so cheap insurance" line. Good spot, wrong thread.

The days of bodging together a kit using the donor registration are long, long gone.The other point is that an MK Indy is not Civic based...

If all the running gear is used then it is/was a Honda Civic special.
No Honda Civic has ever been RWD.The Ad states "Running on a donor ‘B’ plate Honda civic" which I take to mean it's still registered as a Honda Civic, not just using an age-related plate. As it's got a Fireblade engine I thank we can safely say that this is not a single-donor vehicle and I'd be amazed if it actually had ANY parts from a Honda Civic.

I think we've already all agreed that this is the case for this particular vehicle.shakotan said:

No Honda Civic has ever been RWD.Whilst the ad doesn't read as a ringing kit, just a normal ad stating parts for sale, stripped shells available with V5's, etc, etc.
However a poster on the RSOC messaged them enquiring about the availability of a wing & the guy replied with a generic price list email, that also stated the V5's & VIN plates could be posted for £100 & then he would deal with the disposal of the shell for the buyer

What's wronge with that? the ID stays with the chassis ?Ok the bit at the end of the add where he says collection only unless you only want the main bits is obv a referance to the V5/plates only but it's about as leagal as it gets and some people would want only a chassis, i know a few peeps with car bodys on 4X4 chassis, a local tyre place has a fiesta and a bmw E30 on 4X4 chassis using the 4X4 ID (as they leagaly have to).

Again, with a separate chassis vehicle the original chassis, plates and the V5C doesnt cause me any concern. The bits required to meet the DVLAs points requirement are of low value and easily changed or provided.
Offering to send the V5 and the build plate isnt great but many vendors are looking to increase their return.
Some of the misguided Junior G-Men here should consider petitioning insurers in order to stop them selling slaughtered motorcycle frames with their identities out of greed, which fuel motorcycle theft.
