Does it have number plates? If so punch them into ezy reg and see what that tells you. If it doesn't have plates I was always led to believe that you will need to put the car over the pits to have it regoed. That could be completely wrong tho.
Just buy it if the price is right. Draw up your own disposal notice and have the mother put ALL her details on it and sign it.
Even if the son by chance shows up with rego papers, registration doesn't prove ownership.
No plates and not sure whats going on with the mother selling the car,it all sounds a bit odd.
Its been sitting in her carport for around 7 years and all i have is a couple of average photos.I reckon her son has either died or disappeared or something drastic from what i have picked up.Anyway looks like the seats and interior are pretty stuffed,though the motor and gearbox are out of the car and looks like everything else has been put inside because it had been pulled down to a shell.
the interior hadn't been pulled out, though the petrol tank, rear glass,tailshaft are all parts that are sitting inside .Passenger door is off and looks like the pillar and sill are in reasonable condition.Actually both doors are off and there are two bumpers inside also.Looks like he had started the work in the boot as it is in grey primer.All glass is out of car as it looks like he had pretty much pulled it down
and then started on some repairs in the boot and then something happened to him??Then it looks like all the parts that were pulled
out were pilled inside the car(my guess anyway!!!!!)
It would be good to catch up in Littlehampton one arvo if your up for it?I am normally there around 4.30pm wish
