Calm Chris Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Why have you not sought legal advice on this? Clearly the police feel the car was not the sellers car, thus the trade was not legal. Sorry, but I think you will end up needing legal action because you do not have legal title, buyer beware and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I feel like I've just had someone talking at me at 18 words a minute. Before you buy any car, run an HPI check on it (loads of providers out there) - they will guarantee that if a car is not what they say it is they will refund the cost etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I've never heard of an Alain Key, can you get those in London? Now you're just being stupid. It's an Alan Key. They were invented by a bloke called Jonathan from Kidderminster, who pretended to be called Alice at the weekend, but he got found out, so had to revert to being called Alan on Sunday mornings.

Milo Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Now you're just being stupid. It's an Alan Key. If it's the same bloke I'm thinking about, he had a special selection made for working on old British cars. They were Alan's Morris Set.
