And what about the red Pantera #3133 which just was sold on BaT , the vin was restamped , and the dashplate was also not original.
Maybe after a big damage on the front the stamped chassis number was destroyed by the autorities or insurance ?
And owner use a vin from a scrabcar and was more handy than the owner of the car where Sharkey told about.
When an insurance company pay for a loss by stolen or totalled damage, the insurance company become the owner of the car, most of the time you can buy it back when they found it back , or when you pay a remaining amount which is the same as a cardealer or scrabyard will pay.
When you dont have a All -Risk insurance than possible you will be the owner forever , but when the car is sold several times by dealers the , todays owner have a lot of rights when he has bought the car in good faith .
