<p>Mine has a Dutton chassis number and was registered in 1991. I'd suppose that mine was a Scorhill as my number is later than yours Dave. I am assuming that Scorhill numbered them in order as they sold them but that might not be the case, they might have been manufactured well in advance and numbered at that time and then sold out of order.</p>

<p>Hi Rob, I would love to see some pictures of your cars, they sound very interesting, this is said purely from an interested engineers point of view and with no other agenda ( its terrible that something like that has to be stated) I wish we could all just get on with sharing our projects with each other. </p>

Mostly the people I come across are normal everyday sellers<br />
Don't see why they would feel the need to exagerate ?<br />
Have personally seen some of the ebay messages and emails some sellers have received about the importance of their "historic" car and what they are and aren't allowed to do with it

<p>I think people have a habit of exaggerating things if it suits them, especially ebay sellers :)</p>
<p>I have also found that people are more co-operative if your nice to them and to be fair if your dealing with someone who purchased a dodgy car in good faith then they are victims that need to be dealt with sympathetically.</p>

<p>police have access but using the system for friends/personal use is a VERY big no no (you know data protection an all that) and can lead to very serious charges and prison time and since all they have is the dvla data and the club has access to that its all a bit pointless</p>
