Late 80's early 90's Mini with the identity of a 1970 850 posing as a Cooper.

Is it still receiving stolen goods if it's won in a spam contest?

They were both listed as BMW M3 estates. That is how I found them. One still is.

They are still registered as a 320 and a 330 and not listed with the engines they have fitted.

What private seller is going to the effort to covert a BMW 320i and and BMW 330i to full on BMW M3 specification tourings with every single part?

I would be highly suspect the honestly of the cars and where all the parts came from.

One has BMW M3 as the advert title. They are still registered as a 320 and a 330 and not listed with the engines they have fitted.

This is in the description of the first listing:
This car was built on an 2020 320i chassis everything was taken from a November 2021 BMW M3 Competiton xDrive to make this a truely unique car, this is the only M3 Touring with Pnoramic sunroof and pre facelift dashboard

This is in the description of the second listing
Has every extra and is a real head turner, was originally build on a 2019 330i hpi clear car but has everything changed to a M3. Next MOT due 30/09/2023, Beige, 1 owner, £67,700

I do wonder where all the parts came from

I notice the 2020 black one is showing as Cat S as well.

Not my sort of thing at all, but tbf rather that than the usual VW Beetle-based replicas. An Alfa twin cam engine behind you rather than a VW flat four that sounds like a Subaru with a broken exhaust manifold and, even with this plastic fantastic to propel, would have all the performance of a glacier.

Is there a particular problem with re-shelling a car now? I think we have to acknowledge that such things happen independently of stealing cars and then buying a V5 + VIN plate.

does this look like a Vauxhall with a 2-axle rigid body? its a Kitcar named "Carlton Acer", which tries to immitate a Turner Sports

Why do we have wrongly-registered kit cars on the ringing kits thread?

We have a separate thread for these: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

He was abducted by his local ringing gang, assigned a new gender and is now known as "Liquid m'Lady" instead.
