lesapandre Posted January 17 Posted January 17 No V5C...when one could have been obtained before the offer of sale. Caveat emptor...

Dobloseven Posted January 18 Posted January 18 The photos on Facebook have a distinct travellers site flavour and don't seem to match the area of Leicester shown on the map. sierraman 1

Near Markfield. I actually recognised the road but still took a while to find - though it is actually marked as a mobile home park... lesapandre, green200b, UltraWomble and 1 other 2 2
Dick Cheeseburger Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Has the owner's daughter collected it yet? What about now? As an aside, looking at Amit's previous sales, he's had a really eclectic mix on offer. Would be interesting to know the back story on many of them.

I reckon someone who knows a lot of people collecting scrap and banger racers, who intercepts the stuff that should be saved and probably likes cars a bit – a lot of those older sales were not unreasonably priced but 'brave projects'. Maybe the profile is someone helping out a not computer-savvy older scrappy/trader. It's a shame how all of that car's story went from the original owner but I can think of it ending up in worse situations, still a bit steep price-wise I think for it to find a home who will restore it... richardmorris, lesapandre, Stinkwheel and 1 other 2 2
green200b Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Has anybody heard any updates on this? The Facebook ad has been marked as sold, but there's been no V5 issues since 2012 and the car is now road taxed....

Can’t see how it can be taxed ( even for historic free) if the owner hasn’t been updated. Still very murky.
