I have been badly caught out by Richard Thorne who is about to go into liquidation. My Roadster has been for sale with him for 18 months now and he has kept on telling me it just takes time to sell. At the moment the firm are being evasive telling clients their cars have been sold (out of the Blue) but the cars are still advertised for sale. When you ring up the answer is 'the car is not here so it must have sold'. When, how much for and to who is not disclosed and I cannot get an answer. How the mighty have fallen and how dishonest. I now stand to lose the best part of £45K.
Sorry to hear this. do a Tax and MOT check on the vehicle, if the number plate hasn't been changed, it will tell you not only the TAX and MOT status but also notes the last V5 date change.If that date doesn't accord with your latest V5 you may have at least a potential date something was updated on the V5 for example sold.

Fingers crossed, not an easy situation having been there myself in the past.
