some of the owners clubs are very active in stopping cloning of car registrations, Robin hood, and the DOC being just 2 of them, the problem is this, older kit cars are worth more for their ford escort parts than as cars, with IVA costing £1000 + some people are buying old kit cars, selling on the ford bits, selling the V5, or putting it onto another car to avoid having to IVA a car. we often get cars coming up that only 6 months ago were complete on ebay, with a v5, and 6 months down the line they come up as unfinished projects, minus the V5 and the vin plate, mine was such, except that in my case, the chassis had been stamped with the chassis number, and we had evidence that my car was once registered, so with the clubs help , i got my registration back, and a ringer , in this case a locost was taken off the road, the owner done, and charged ,and the car then had to go though IVA he sold it, rather than iva it, so what does that tell you
