Wow, who would, a. buy that, b. buy that and c. buy it for £1800?? Surely even as memorabilia it would only be worth keeping if it was from your own car? I don't understand why anyone would want it. Am I wrong?

It’s a piece of stamped up tin plate. No use what so ever. Value of £1 memorabilia. If people stopped paying over the odds for crap like this @colr6 could afford to fit a ford engine

With the right connections you stand a chance of getting a V5C with the details on that piece of tin. Hey presto new identity for a stolen car

Or new id for a standard escort hey presto £10k more profit.

Its literally a ripoff look at how it has been removed from the car LOL

Only if the origins of the car aren’t registered as “scrapped” even then the hoops to jump through now to re register a car that’s been off the road for years. End up on a Q.

I've just sent off a log book for a car to the dvla (original v5 ) The previous owner deceased. Filled out as normal with previous owners details with deceased put through them. Be interesting to see what happens on this as its been off the road for 20 yrs.
