I purchased a second hand Mini to use as arunabout three weeks ago. Lovely car, excellent condition. HPI clear, bought from a private ad on Gumtree.

Was on the motorway near Leeds last week and got pulled.

Turns out the car has a police marker on it as a similar vehicle was used in an attempted burglary with cloned plates. Tried to get the marker removed by Somerset & Avon Police, but they won't do it until theyfindthe cloned vehicle which obviously could never happen.

Police have put a note on the system sayin I live in the Milton Keynes area, but can easily get stopped if I go out of area...

Anybody with any suggestions apart from sell the car?
