Edited my post as it appeared a bit like taking the piss.
None of my business really. The above thread explains all.

Hi This is my car and it is not Stolen, The old plate has been on the car for years, the previous owner has had it for 8 years, 10 owners in all. Not any of the previous owners have had a problem, Infact i have been contacted by a previous owner.

I have checked with HPI sent off for a V888 form to contact previous owners other than the ones i have spoken to. and checked with the Police before i purchased the car. It is also recorded with HPI as colour changed

A local porsche specialist restored this car at a cost of over £5000, the identity was taken off a previous owners other car which was scrapped,
Not sure if it is illegal much like a kit car takes the identity of a doner car when should have used the old chassis but does not.

Probally sold anyway and if the new keeper turns anything dodgy i will give him his money back

Do you honestly think anyone in their right mind would advertise a stolen car registerd in their own name and sell it from their home

feel free if you have any doubts the number is 999

Who said anything about stolen?

Other than the identity what else passed over from the old car?

Thread on PCGB some drama queen without out the facts

Probably nothing,

A friend of mine has just purchased a rally car shell fully kitted out then purchased an old escort reg doc to complete the car, is this illegal also.

Apparently misrepresenting or fabricating the fundamental identity (VIN) of a car is illegal. Who knew?

Just a thought

what if i get the previous number and put it back on get a replacment chassis plate from Porsche the car might be worth more ?

I might even strip it out myself fit, get a roll cage and make it into a track day car , Its only £8750 and so many enquiries i still think it will sell regardless,i am not trying to hide anything.
The previous owners ran it without any trouble. and as i said if it turns out to be a serious problem for the new owner then i will buy it back. i am happy to take the car to any police station to be inspected, i did call them before i purchased the car and they did not seem to be interested, all hey said was that they had no interest recorded about the car.

Police will only be interested if there's evidence it's stolen.

It's VOSA that you (and subsequent owners) will want to avoid.

IIUC never any suspscion of being stolen since previous owner also owned the (now scrapped) donor VIN?

VOSA of course might be primarily interested but police perhaps also given current seller's apparent knowledge?

Slightly OT - insurance - modified? apparently in every possible way

I was trying to find out the original number plate of my 1983 924.
( private plate was fitted in the 1990's )
Sent a email to porsche GB and got a reply the next day with all the details including original supplying dealer.

They should able to tell you the true registration number, VIN and engine number.
