Not sure if anyone has seen this post but what could be done about this, I have detailed below the PH link but to save you the time of reading this here we go.
Trader, probably from home, imports American cars and promises a Carfax (USA HPI check) with them but has none for some cars which is strange. It would appear that these cars are a total loss in the USA have been poorly repaired then shipped to the UK where there is no record of the vehicle and being a 96 car does not need an SVA just an MOT, so if the MOT inspector don't spot the dodgy (pun)workmanship car either gets traded in or sold at a high price to some unsuspecting party who may do an HPI check no problem.
HPI are not interested as its a MOP who is informing, police have no mechanism to record it unless stopped as unroadworthy and DVLA have no interest.
If you check out the photos note the l/h wheel compared to the right Vipers do not come with over 10 degrees of negative camber.
Alos remember this is a 190 mph car designed for the track...would you like to drive it???
