I've always wondered this.
If someone has a car repossessed and someone applies for the V5 using a V62k, if I remember, it sends a letter to the previous holder of the V5 asking them if there is any reason why a new V5 shouldn't be divvied out.

What if they say "No, I don't agree"?

I don't know, but items sold at auction are usually free and clear of previous liens etc so I suspect if you proved to the doovla that's how you bought it, you'd be ok.

The gearbox details sound like exactly the experience that some of the earliest adopters experienced. Very authentic!

Nope. I've been looking at that one and off the last few times it's been for sale, and it does keep getting closer and closer, but I don't have the mental strength let alone the money to invest* in that, as nice as it could potentially be

Even the spare tyre is rusty.

Oh my. I need a sit down. That's a fine if very rusty piece of Italian auto art. Great shame it's lost its history, as a RHD it will have a tale to tell. IIRC Breadvan had one of these briefly, although that might have been after he departed these brown pages. 

Edit to add; someone's got a bargain at 560 beer tokens. Only the same again in MIG wire needed. 🤣

It is slammed rat look yo!. It even has a roof rack and patina, just needs a pineapple.
The  seats look too new, I am no ADO expert but the seats look out of a seventies car. I love the colour though.

Correct; seats and door cards are from a mk3 (71 onwards).  Plus, mk1 front panel but mk2/3 rear wings, mk2 Morris dash and mk3 rear bumper.  Safe to say it's had an interesting life, but even as an ado16 apologist I'd say it may be time to put it out of its misery now!

IIRC there was even special dispensation in the MOT emissions test for them because they were all pretty much unable to meet the emissions standard they were sold with. Fuel control with any carb is nowhere near good enough to not knacker a cat pretty quickly.

Here's an interesting one. Needs welding for the MOT... but if you look at its fail sheet, sounds like it's about to disintegrate at any second. Year before? Absolutely nothing. So, dodgy MOT last year or overzealous tester this year?

Still, £400 is pretty cheap.

Strange way to sell them.  Can't view. Can't verify the condition. Wouldn't he be better contacting an auction house to sell them all individually. In a way that would net a hell of a lot more.

Thats what I'd think , I bet Derek is wetting his pants if he's seen this , the Mexico is worth what they're all going for at the moment

As it stands, it's definitely a bargain. The 2 escorts alone are easily worth more than that, especially if the Mexico is the real deal. From the rear, it looks in excellent condition and partly restored.
The midget looks great too.

I'd be very wary though if these don't have registrations or V5s. They could be nicked or cut n' shuts.

Very much so if they're what they're described as, especially Matthewsons or ACA would lap all that up, photograph them and actually get what they're worth rather than an endless cycle of people winning the ebay auction then complaining they're not as described(with 24 cars in the listing and no viewing it's a nailed on and entirely plausible reason for not paying up) and going broke due to ebay listing fees. I have to conclude the vendor is a lunatic who wants life to be as hard as possible, the listing is a longwinded variant on the "I know what I've got, so no messers" pablum.

Interesting to note that the really worthwhile stuff has been separated (the rotten R5 aside)
Although the R33 GTST isn't the one everyone wants and he would have been better off finishing the Mexico rather than what I'm expecting to be a beige 1.3L.

MH autos are almost opposite the large Oxney Road traveller site. I can imagine if ACA's  large transporter lorries were spotted there would be a dozen scrap metal enthusiasts badgering them with "I'll give ya fifty quid fer the old scrap car, mister" as they are trying to load them.

I thought it looked familiar, that's near that weird gated community surrounded by waste ground, isn't it?
