fair comments and i agrre i just think Imran should have een sent the pictures 1st before they were posted (unless of course he was in which case all is fair )

i contacted the seller of a VXR on pistonheads which has an intresting past he denied all knowledge but still has the car for sale.

If a car was bought ''damaged repaired'' with no crash history then sold on to a third party - the seller is not and can not be held accountable for the previous said damage - So basically you buy a car thats had a bump, you go to sell and someone and [as in this case] they recognises it as a bumpy - then its your loss as a previous buyer of bumpy and the 'seceret no crash history fun' ends.

As it has no crash history theres nowt Imran can do to the previous owner, theres very little others can do to him for selling as no crash history either - It probably had a 'sold as seen' agreement on receipt when he bought it ... which is welsh for 'your fcuked if it breaks'.

The Vauxhall system will tell me the current and past owners of that chassis number but noth whether it has been repaired or not.

Can you post names (obscured if needed) and dates of when the ownership of the chassis number changed?

[wrightster]

not as far as i am aware that one seem slike a nice example and i would have bought that if it had been nearer the other one on PH is Bletch's old car which may now be a perfectly straight car but has had an accident as detailed in depth on this sitre but the owner denied all knowledge and the mileage and dates he stated didnt add up from what i had read on here. (edit, the other one on PH referred to here has been confirmed as not being Bletches old car)

Does anyone live near Imran or his brothers garage? (Crawley?)

Surely someone could have a quick look at his brothers garage and that would show whether the pictures of the damaged car were taken there or not?

Even if they were taken there, it does not disprove that ImranVXR1 and his "brother" Imtiaz are simply one and the same person.

The co-incidence that this particular VXR, was taken to a garage by the previous owner, and worked on by the brother of the current owner, who then went back to the garage simply for Internet Access, is just too much for me to believe. How many people here use their brother's place of work for Internet Access?!!??

If anyone wants pics of the garage i can send them to you, what i would like to know myself is where those pictures of J9VXR came from. Chuno posted them where did he get them from? Cos if they are pics of my car at least then I will know for sure if it has been in an accident before. As i have said already the plate was on my VXR from 08/05 till 12/05 so when where those pics taken? cos it is possible they are of another VXR or mine if it was between those dates in 05

There may never be incontrovertible proof but this is starting to look like a whole mountain of circumstantial evidence.

It's tempting to drive to the garage myself, but it's 80 miles away...

Someone has to be closer...BenW maybe? Isn't he in Caterham?

[chuno]

I was sent them by a concerned member (not the only one). I've said enough now anyway. Make of it what you will.

[Crimson_Killa]

I have a simple solution.... Imran takes a photo of the v5 (the part that says registered keeper, as it has date of purchase does it not?). Then posts it here. Chuno or the people that posted the photos can look in to the meta (is that right name?) Data within the photo and get the creation date. If the photo creation date is before Imran was the owner then its fine otherwise you can make your own conclusion......

The problem is that you'd need the original photo. What is posted here is a resized version with all the meta data stripped out.

[Flanners]

I've read enough to make my own conclusions. Barge and pole again for me. Too much bull IMHO, great answers though when caught on the hop...........

[trescoman]

Barge and pole again for me.

Nah, a few checks to ensure to ok, the right price, and its a go'er

[Richy]

Anyone know what the extent of the past damage was? Must have taken quite a whack to break a wheel, also the rear air vent is punched upwards WTF is all that about?

[Foxy]

Anyone know what the extent of the past damage was?

V5 will have previous owners name - perhaps 'someone' could ask them?

[XXX]

Imran, remember the old adage "No publicity is bad publicity" HTH

From the photos, it looks like the rear lights have been pushed downwards. To me, that would suggest that the car hit something on the passenger side, flipped up (ripping the passenger air vent upwards), continued the roll with the front end in the air and the back end touching down upside-down on the passenger side rear-light, the roll continued and the car touched the ground (still upside-down) on the driver side rear-light and finally returned to "right-side up". This could also explain the lack of damage to the roll bar cover. This could easily have smashed the windscreen due to the twisting forces that would have been occuring in the chassis during the roll. Maybe the whole sequence was triggered by clipping the driver side rear wheel (missing in the photo, presumed destroyed).

This is all just guesswork, so please don't read too much into it.

Note that I am talking about the damaged car in the photos and am not implying anything else.
