JFReturns Mark 1 MX5 Project

Well, I've given him the information he wanted. I've spoken to his friend twice, been sent a picture of ID and the £1800 in fifty pound notes, found his active facebook page which is plastered with postings of modded MX5's going back way before he contacted me AND he has sent me a £100 deposit.
If this is some kind of scam to get my name and a copy of my V5 (which even if he had the original is not proof of ownership) then it is very elaborate for no gain that I can see

Sounds alright to me now - pretty elaborate to do all of that for a 1500 quid car ?
Have you got his name and address to ? Check to see if his address is valid and and have a check on street view, everything helps.
I sold a car to a guy in France, just asked loads of questions, found his address was actually a Cafe in southern France, a bit more googling and found out that he was the registered owner and other stuff.
All went quiet for a bit then he turned up on my doorstep with 10K in his pocket !!
Ask him for a bit more deposit maybe another 2-300 quid to prove hes keen.
I do seem to remember something about the V5 - not too sure why though, might have been something to do with the age of the vehicle ?
