       It's for this reason that I'm going to leave it. If I start
       poking him with a stick the actual winning bidder may demand the
       vehicle he has proof he bought and as I bought it as "scrap
       metal" and paid cash I have no proof that I own it  :-?
       May let sleeping dogs lie on this one.
       On a lighter note it looks like I may have a found a good
       chassis with V5 and a few spare panels from an abandoned project
       which will do me nicely (and legally as the correct vin is
       stamped on the chassis).  :)

       Did you get a reciept? He has no proof that he bought it because
       a V5 isn't proof of purchase or ownership. It states who the
       KEEPER is - that is who the authorities should send letters for
       road tax, appearances in court etc. to.
       If you've got the actual vehicle that an "expert" from the
       series one club can identify as relating to the reg. number, and
       all he has is a V5 and a plate on a coiler then he won't have a
       leg to stand on. I know the Series 2 club have people who can go
       out and ientify motors on behalf of the DVLA for the purposes of
       registering barn finds and the like so I'd guess the series 1
       lot can offer a similar service.
       It would be nice if you ended up with a motor and its proper
       identity and, as a bonus, dropped a knobhead in the shit.
