A few years ago, a mate picks up a Ford Fiesta ST from a bona fide salvage auction, its Cat C due to flood damage. I helped him build it into a stage rally car. Owner did a couple of events and then sold it and it went overseas. Last year it resurfaces and the new owner gives me a ring asking about its history. I told him the history of the car, the work I did on it etc and it was built from a Cat C write off. New owner expressed concern as nothing came up on hpi search! Explained that the interior trim was long gone to the tip and engine and transmission fully rebuilt so nothing to worry about. We did everything by the book - VIC check and notifying DVLA that it was permanently exported etc
