Re: Another log book and id plates for sale on Ebay
I only list these if a chassis number is known.
Not THAT important tbh on pre-66 cars, bodyshell stamped so provided THAT matches the chassis & body ID plates your safe.

Re: Another log book and id plates for sale on Ebay
Only other details visible are engine number on chassis plate (203110), and that a DVLA tax status print-out. ( Untaxed. Blue. 1098cc ).
I've phoned Ebay customer services and been put through to their 'prohibited listings' team. Explained situation. They've checked the listing and found that, apart from my complaint it is in breach of ebay t&c's anyway. So dual investigation under way. Will take approx 48hrs to deal with, then listing will be removed if complaint upheld.

Re: Another log book and id plates for sale on Ebay
These apparent scams seem to crop up often, and I go 'tut tut ' and disapprove because it's obviously not right. Just seems to me that all the reporting to sites and huffing and puffing doesn't seem to do much good. There must be a better way of dealing with this...maybe all car registrations and details should be put into purdah if the car disappears for a bit?
They could be resurrected with appropriate evidence .I'm no expert on this but it seems like the whole system is not fit for purpose .

Re: Another log book and id plates for sale on Ebay
Dead right the system isn't fit for purpose. In this instance, DVLA as usual aren't interested. Advised to notify police. Police aren't interested as no crime has been committed until a car emerges bearing the identity being sold. Advised by them that its a DVLA issue or possibly a DVSA issue, if the original vehicle (scrapped over 12 years ago) can be identified. And so it goes on... and on... and on...

Various ways to change the stamped in chassis number on the bulkhead, (Non if which I'll broadcast on a public forum, obviously)....POMMReg wrote:I only list these if a chassis number is known.

Even if the DVLA aren't interested surely its worth keeping a record of registrations advertised in this way as 'suspicious history'

Re: Another log book and id plates for sale on Ebay
I guess it's pretty easy to change a chassis number if you have the skills and the time.
But I doubt many tea leaves would go that far.
If they were clever and dedicated enough to do so, would they be nicking cars?
Mindless twocas. We don't have the quality of criminal we did when I was a lad ;)

Re: Another log book and id plates for sale on Ebay
the police aren't interested because they don't have the manpower to look at what MIGHT become a crime,in my day back in the eighties,we in Cleveland/durham had a dedicated stolen vehicle team, three guys who only looked at stolen vehicles in particular any vehicle re registered after accident or a long time off road,they were experts in where id numbers were,knew every variance between most models , Anyone application for road tax or change of owner on suspected cars was passed to them via the old tax office and they looked at each car,and if satisfied gave the ok .They even had the authority to re stamp chassis numbers to clarify Identity of vehicle. They were the curse of the old shut and cut accident rebuilders,which were prolific back then.They would have LOVED E BAY and been all over anyone selling I Ds .. No longer ,and never likely to come back.

Re: Another log book and id plates for sale on Ebay
They don't have the manpower because the 'party of law and order' has cut 20.000 officers and even more civil staff from the numbers. It is also because people are reporting handbags at dawn as crimes and even playground scuffles get a crime number. In the meantime almost no-one is investigating 'low level' fraud unless the victim has friends in high places. We get the police we deserve !

Re: Another log book and id plates for sale on Ebay
Puzzled me why that Glasgow bin lorry driver wasn't prosecuted.
43mph in a 40mph and you're banged to rights!!

Re: Another log book and id plates for sale on Ebay
Its a bit off-topic I know but the bin lorry driver had a medical condition and he has since been banned from driving indefinitely, although it took yet another collision (the result of another black-out) for this to happen. I know some laws in Scotland differ from England so I can only comment on the English version. There is currently NO control over recording medical conditions with the DVLA. Your medical practicioner can recommend that you notify the DVLA of a relevent medical condition but that's all. I understand that new legislation is being drawn up which will soon make it mandatory for your practicioner to notify the DVLA on your behalf, meaning people like said lorry driver will no longer be able to dodge the issue.

Re: Another log book and id plates for sale on Ebay
Yes, I'd agree. Seen a few altered Minors, non of them very convincing to the cognoscenti. The silliest one being a 58ish convertible on a J plate - wrong in so many ways. Even the body numbers had been changed but were still smoke grey which stood out on a dark green car...BrianHawley wrote:I guess it's pretty easy to change a chassis number if you have the skills and the time.

Sad thing was that the owner very much wasn't of the cognoscenti so was happy that all was well.
On another occasion I was brought a series 2 saloon to convert to convertible complete with all appropriate parts off a scrapped genuine convertible, even including the section of bulkhead with chassis number to weld in.....
I did the job, but 'accidentally' lost the chassis number section in my scrap bin during the work! I expect it still ended up as a ringer but my conscience was clear.

Re: Another log book and id plates for sale on Ebay
Without going into detail, I'll confess that even Max has a bit of an identity crisis which arose during restoration in 1990. As the guy who restored him kept him for another 20 years I consider the identity issue arose from well-meant but misguided motives.
