What ever the rights and wrongs with this car there will be a number of buyers for It at the right price. Its a chance to own a car that's normally out of their reach?
Deano, I can see your point but the waters get muddy a little down the line (which they already are imho). For instance, MMC wouldn't repair this car for a reason, and one of them was damaged chassis; therefore, it was rated Cat B. Not to labour the point but this means it was meant to be scrapped and sold for parts, not road registered.
Whilst the next owner will, hopefully, we aware of this; what will happen when it is sold on again and again. The first dealer who had it implied where was a loophole to get it back on the road and this is what is being used now. It isn't a challenge to believe that somewhere along the line, some honest prospective owner will spend their hard-earned on this 'car' and get bitten on the backside because the true state of it has been lost to the mists of time and dodgy dealers.
Just my 2-cents and ones that have been shaped by watching friends get shafted by buying cars with hidden histories.
