Correct, it's perfectly legal to carry out 'mileage correction' just illegal to sell the car knowing it's been carried out and not declaring the same. Apparently, it's only a couple of hours of work with the mechanical odometers..worth the time if you're being paid well for it and 'preserving' the value of the car. I was told they even 'etch' the inside of the dashboard as a record..
In that case can you disclose their deets?

Surely its a couple of hours every time the car has its mileage recorded, at MOT, service, generally any time it visits a dealer. Are you saying this guy visited main dealers?

it's very very VERY common, my wife's Merc convertible has just gone back for a full refund to a very large respectable dealer due to it not being "genuine 8k miles". had no idea until it when in for a main dealer service, Mercs do leave a marker "implausible mileage detected" if not clocked properly, I now hear they can be!!, Mercedes openly told me how common it is, they had just had a women dropping a top of the range nearly new AMG off for its first service with a mileage blocker inserted into the loom which had us laughing out loud.

I've been assured there was/is a very well known indy Ferrari specialist that specialised in altering, mileage, history documents and genuine books to suit new mileages, out of interest just search rubber dealer stamps on eBay, cost less than £10 for a not so genuine Ferrari main/indy dealer of your choice service stamp.

Regarding the car I didn't know it was up for sale 6 months back and subsequently already discuss so my apologies, regarding the bonnet, yes it does look all out of line round the front lights!!

+1 there is not much effort required to do this, with the potential to save ££££

The problem with this car will be selling it when you've had enough.

I have a 355 with 51,500 miles on it and even that's considered high for a 20 year old car when it's a Ferrari.
