Ah, sorry everyone.

Been feeding a troll again instead of concentrating on the issue at hand.

Most of these are still on there...

Following our conversation before Christmas about illegal items being sold via your site I was utterly disappointed to find seventeen such listings today.
Every single listing like these that is sold via your site is the theft of a motor vehicle that you are aiding and abetting (indirectly).
As you can see we have been monitoring, recording, posting and reporting such listings now for more than five years and you are still allowing it. Not only allowing it but these people...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/…/CLASSIC-MINI-MK2-HIS...
...have built a business around it.
I desperately urge you to remove and ban these listings and users before one of the stolen vehicles with an eBay Ringing Kit is recovered and you are implemented officially.

eBay are also well aware.

Would a motoring org like the AA have any clout with this if they got involved ?

This may well be a candidate for this thread, if you read what's been done to it (and check the reg):

Seems like a strong candidate for needing an IVA test (is it still the IVA test?) to me.

For Twunt sake!

I read an article a few years ago about the four door Mexico. Apparently Ford only made six and they were commissioned by the Police. If I recall the only one left is in a museum.

So as well as a ringing kit it might be falsely registered as a Mexico as well.

So he's had to remove from his listing that it is registered as a 1300 on the log book. Anyone trying to use YOP 272T on a 1600 will have to change the log book.

Yet another

I guess it's still registered as a Ford (so incorrect as the kit car it is), and he's now breaking it and selling the reg docs and vin plate!

To think you spent several hours on the DVLA website trying every number combination until you found it.

DVLA don't use a captcha? I reckon you could get brute force it in 5 minutes, tops?
