Probably, but somewhat lacking in evidence.(we're pretty sure the chassis would fit in an envelope, based on the description, but we can't prove that.)

A 1970 'series' coil sprung chassis?... okaaay
Yeah, that's almost certainly a bit fishy.
The chap selling this may be an innocent victim of a pre-ringed chassis. It's how he bought it, doesn't know better and the log book is the one that came with it but as we all know and a high ranking judge once told me...

Certainly looks it to me! All the usual hallmarks. Avoid totally. Reported!Removed and relisted. 
Here's a good one.

1.3 Escort L shell (look at the strut tops and other clues) with parts from a series one RS Turbo.
It looks well done but the number plate was always an RST? Looks like someone may have swapped the VIN number and plate from the RST donor.

The idea of paying 15 grand for a Mark 3 Escort of any kind is alien to me, especially a rusty turd like that.Here's a good one.

I don't really have problem with that. The floorpan of those is the important bit. As long as it's right for the claimed year (I don't know Beetles well enough to call it one way or the other), I'd not regard as being any worse than a chassis with V5.InitialDave said:

It's borderline - technically legal because the floorpan is there, verging on illegal because it looks pretty crusty and is probably beyond repair.
Selling an uneconomical-to-repair chassis/floorpan with a V5 is exactly as legal as selling a perfect chassis/floorpan with a V5.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
