I saw the HPI report from John which said it was not an insurance write off and he said it never had been written off, so I modified it for him.

I include the HPI report segment from below.



If it's wrong, then feel free to change it back.

You must have altered the wrong car on the register, because mccrae claims Hiltis car was not his ??? Unless you know the VIN number we don't know which car is being talked about...But I'm sure Hilti knows HIS car was a write-off.

Ok, I think some of the original information on that register for this car is bump.

I'm currently looking at all the license plate info that John's car has had in the past, some of them tally with those listed for that car and some of them don't.

That car has been registered under SIJ214 and HIL7067, but the register says SIJ 216 & TD05 CDG not YD05 CDG but also lists HIL7067, so take your pick...

Also, that entry was stated as being owned by John so... *shrugs*

I didn't change the previous license plate entries. I think some of the info was confused anyway.

What I'll do is I'll correct the obvious errors in the license plates (not added by me but originally there) and it will then be correct as far
as the HPI doc lists. If someone meant to add the writeout stuff to another car, then that's their problem to sort out...

Can't look at the history of the register atm as it comes back with an error.

I've corrected the previous license plates so that they are all consistent with the actual DVLA info.

If someone intended to modify SIJ 216 to a crashed car, then best to them.

But the HPI report lists HIL7067, YD05CDG and T44SCL as the same car and not being a write off.

If the HPI info is wrong, then that's another problem beyond my concern. I'm just going by what I see from the HPI.

Cheers

Oh, last point, the entry I modified has a pic from GrahamV's site reference...

http://www.varleyhyd.com/images/sagaris43.yd05cdg....

So it is definitely the entry for YD05 CDG - aka T44 SCL - John's car. So, assuming the HPI information
is correct, the previous info on that register entry does not tally.

I can't validate it more than that, mate.

Nope, just seen that - interesting. So why not showing up on HPI?

Simples... An acceptable repair and an automotive engineers report can clear a Cat C or D from the record.

Yes, but would that not also be recorded as an inspection?

The HPI has not inspections listed against any of the registrations.

I won't post the full HPI report or history, but here is the relevant section.

Note - removed image as might be restricted DVLA info.

It states all history is clear.

Are you sure? I was told by HPI that that can't happen.

Guys,

Thats my old car, it was written off in March 2008, Cat D......... It is No. 43 on the register, the original picture on the register was on my drive at home!

I saw it at the first Carfest at Cholmondeley in August 2012 on the supercar lifestyle stand, it still had some of my personal touches on it!!! It believe had just been put back on the road I. The sales guy on the stand didn't want to talk when I told him it was my old car and had been written off !!!

There are only 3 Halcyon Midas Sags, one belongs to Keith, the other was Sportiest and the third was mine.

I was the second owner, the first being Saun Jameson. I bought it from Drivestyle in Yorkshire. It has had 2 private plates on it, the SIJ ...... Plate and mine, HIL 7067' in between it was put back on it original Yorkshire registration. It had just over 8k miles on it when it was written off?

It's a bit naughty if this cars identity has been changed on the register to sell it?

If any one wants to mail me, I will give you chapter and verse on the car

I'm not trying to be naughty (not my car). It was changed to reflect the info on the HPI given.

If you don't think that info is correct, then by all means change it back.

You have come across as being overly praiseworthy of this car and it's selling price,condition and history which did arise my interest smile .

Good reason for that.

John's car has a 4.5 TVR Power rebuild + ceramic brakes.

My car has a 4,5 TVR Power rebuild + ceramic brakes, so I know how much that all costs.

John did my ceramic discs and I know what they are like.

If you want a car with all that for £50k - that is a good deal IMO.

As far as over praising the car - if you look what I said it was something along the lines that it was a bargain for what
you were getting. I'm happy to stand by that statement.

4.5 rebuilds £15k +
Ceramic brakes - well, won't post the full price, but let's say they were a few quid as well.

So, yes, a good deal for 50k. I stand by the statement.

You are welcome to disagree, that is your opinion. biggrin

My exact statement was...

"You would have to be mad to let this one go :biggrin:"

At 50k for another 20k+ worth of upgrades. Then yes, I think you would be mad.

I have just checked the register and updated it, John Mcreas car is my old car, HIL 7067, the picture on the register is on my drive at home !!!

All the previous registrations are correct....

I have pictures of it on the supercar lifestyle stand at Cholmondeley with my son stood next to it, he recognised it before me and he is only 7!

Can't believe that advocates of the TVR brand are being economical with the truth on a cars identity to maximise their own gain!!! Makes my blood boil..........

Who has bought it?

Hilti.

I did based on the info I was given, i.e. the HPI report and what John said.

If it's wrong, its wrong and has been put back. In the meantime the rest of the incorrect info has been corrected as well.

I'm not going to call you or John a liar as I don't know you and John has always dealt very fairly with me in the past.

The HPI report shows no write off or inspection information, so those who read all this can draw their own conclusions.

I'll kept my opinion on the subject to myself as TBH I'm losing the will to live this with subject.
