This should take some attention away from the VIN Thread.
Did they change the vin Sean,300 k,they must be on drugs
I don't know Paul but the shell was changed indicating that two chassis ID's were involved which seems to be everyone's criticism of a conversion, swap, whatever.....
I know nothing.
They crashed one car, stripped a load of parts off it and put them on another car. Two separate unibodies with their own unique factory-engraved chassis numbers.
As I mentioned to you before (and it got deleted....) this is a case of a vernacular 'identity' (i.e. 'Big Sam') riding on several different cars.
There's no chassis number switching or license plate switching going on in the Brands Hatch crash/'new ex-Works rally car chassis' part of the story. They crashed one car, stripped a load of parts off it and put them on another car. Two separate unibodies with their own unique factory-engraved chassis numbers.
Just think of Big Sam as being like Doctor Who and it starts to make a little bit more sense
Does that mean it in now known as Big Samantha

Sean, Big Sam is a racing car not a road car so why would the DVLA be interested?
I have a rotten (crashed ?) UK market Z - I buy a clean shell, I transfer all my UK bits over and....Q.E.D !
If one agrees with everyone else on another thread, Big Sam is a ringer, should be crushed or at best wear a 'Q-plate'.
.....or we say that it's ok if not done to deceive and the donor I.D is correctly disposed of - eg officially stated as destroyed.
NO exceptions !
I never mentioned the DVLA but no, they wouldn't be - I guess it's alright to reshell then but not on the public roads and with an MOT.......because ?
