Good find. If it's been repaired correctly and you go into it with your eyes open then it's a bit of bargain, if you're looking for a keeper. Perfect for a rental.

Guessing the second eBay sale of £65k fell through, like the first.

Almost a straight swap: £50k 2012 Bentley GTC for the GTS trade-in.

This is a problem that is more widespread than you may think.

Lots and lots of cars are slipping through the net but it seems as though vcheck have ties with copart and therfore have more accurate data.

Story on the other thread about Edinburgh OPC having a 991 T that turned out to be cat S is a worry.

Nice hpi clear GT4 anyone?

Offtopic, but which checker are you using to find this? Looks helpful

That's from a free check on https://totalcarcheck.co.uk/ but not all websites such as Autotrader list the reg numbers so isn't 100% successful. Another useful site for free checks is https://cazana.com/uk - however, the only site I would pay for is https://www.vcheck.uk/bow

Take a look at their Facebook page for loads of examples, it is shocking the number of cars and motorbikes that get the CAT S flag removed.

After seeing how many there are on Facebook, I checked my cars. Phew! All fine. I agree it is shocking.
