When he says 'hedge find', 'no V5 but it belongs to me', does that mean that he just found it on the side of the road and dragged it home? Surely that's not legal?!

Maybe he parked it next to a hedge on his land when something failed, and has now dragged it out for selling (in my minds eye, I am imagining it beside a load of other rusty heaps in a field) Other possibility is that he has bought it off the original owner, who over time has lost the V5. Oh and by the way, this isnt an FSO, its a Polski-Fiat |

Other possibility is that he has bought it off the original owner, who over time has lost the V5. The from the sellers ebay feedback he/she has a history of buying and selling car tat and parts. Which makes Panda's suggestion seem quite likely The V5 is not proof of ownership anyway |

I will get round to finishing it at some point

In mid 80's a mate was stuck for a car so I got him a FSO125P for £60 (mot'd and taxed !). At the time my Imp was off the road and mate used a push bike for work so we shared the car. Accepted they were a bit crude but otherwise dammed good cars. One problem was brakes keep sticking on after a short while of driving. Turned out the servo was being pressuried and applying brakes by itself. A couple of quid for a replacement from scrap yard cured the trouble. In the end the clutch started to slip so a trip to the scrapyard (Car Transplants at Nantwich) found a 3 year old FSO that was a repo. Owner had pulled all the wires off under the bonnet and finance company had scrapped it so we got it for £100 + 15% VAT = £115. The origional was reMOT'd as someone wanted it (for £220 !), it was stripped of headlights, exhaust system, steering column, wheels & tyres, battery and the bits used on the second car that was then also MOT'd the same day  The wiring was fun to sort out as FSO just used two wiring colours. After a while mate saved up some money and bought a year old polonez - load of poop by comparison. In fact it failed MOT and was left standing for a couple of years despite only being a few years old. In the end I sorted out the problems, got MOT and sold it to a friend for £50 who was desperate for a car after her husband took thiers when he left her. Paul H |
