A few years ago an early Roadster was written off and was for sale at a breakers, it evaporated for a couple of years and then an identical Mog in that particular colour was for sale as a re-import with no declaration of it's past history...naughty !
In Germany for example we don`t get any further informations about cars, like you get in GB and perhaps in the USA.
If you buy a car you have to believe the informations you get from the seller after you asked him about the cars history. If you ask the second or third owner the answer will be: I don't know.
