Your issue here is what?
If you understand the rules (and I mean really understand, and the quasi-law that you spout leads me to suppose that you do not), then you will know that sufficient points can easily be achieved by also acquiring a few worthless parts with the shell.
Selling a V5C along with a build plate is very different.
Okay let's break down my last post. If you understand the rules (and I mean really understand, and the quasi-law that you spout leads me to suppose that you do not), then you will know that sufficient points can easily be achieved by also acquiring a few worthless parts with the shell.
Selling a V5C along with a build plate is very different.
Stolen BMW M3 track day car and trailer.
Incredibly cheap M3 bare shell that's only a cat'-d write off but lists only a few useful parts.

Ideal for solid sills / rear arches etc !
Nowhere near enough of the car left to rebuild from. Now there is no VIC check all a criminal would need to do is buy the remains from eBay for a lot less than M3 ringing kits have been listed for. Transfer the identity or ring it over to the stolen M3 send off for a new log book with a colour change declaration from red to silver (or go to the expense of respraying the stolen M3) and get a mail order MOT as I'm sure they know people in low places.
Time to run the numbers.
1 stolen M3 - free
2 eBay bare shell and log book - £300
3 V62 for a new log book - £25
4 dodgy MOT - £???
Previously cat' d M3
£8,000
Even if they do respray the car red it's still quite a margin.
Could. But by the time the shell has been straightened on a jig and all like for like original parts replaced it would cost more than going out to buy an identical car.
The only reason anyone would go through all that is sentimental. Hardly the kind of sentiment one would have for an anonymously bought shell.
Cheap, comes with a V5C and clean HPI check. There's only one realistic reason it's for sale.

I sent eBay a freedom of information request asking how many they had sold/brokered on their site and they turned it down.
You send a FOI request to a private company?Bet that raised a few laughs in customer services.

Well done eBay. About bloody time.
Oh, I spoke too soon...

Good evening.
Are you a sting operation for the West Midlands Police?
The reason I ask is obviously the sale of a vehicle registration document with identity plate is a criminal offense in itself and could be used to change the identity of a stolen vehicle making you an accessory to the theft. I was going to click "Buy it Now" and send a couple of colleagues from the West Midlands Constabulary round to have you arrested.
But if you are already the Police that could have been a tad embarrassing.
All the best for the festive season LK
I'll let you guys know when I get a reply. Are you a sting operation for the West Midlands Police?
