Why not? It would deter the minority in the banger community that are thieving gits, would save a lot of classics being nicked & would add maybe 2 minutes max to each cars scruitineering!
As I've posted previously ALL cars that are raced should be made to have their chassis plates still in place & checked off against the DVLA & stolen car database during scruitineering & noted down/posted up on a raced car database. Any stolen cars will be flagged up, anyone using false numbers will be flagged up as they will either not exist or exist on a different car & anyone using plates more than once will be flagged up. Offenders will be highlighted & face either criminal prosecution &/or lifelong bans.
It's about time something was done!

think you will find random checks are carried out at oval race tracks by police they never had checks when i was racing national hotrods but my cousins are all current oval racers and banger drivers and they said sometimes police want to see paperwork logbooks and reciepts for the cars at the track and check chassis numbers which is a good thing i suppose but everyone must remember its not all banger drivers and scrap men stealing these old classics theres scum bags breaking them and selling the parts and shells off i would think at there current high value some are being shipped elseware , Checks should be made compulsary for all cars, if a racer doesn't have anything to hide then he'll have no quarms over them checking whilst doing the rest of the scrutineering

If the car was bought with a log book:- 1. Where is the log book now? 2. Where did he\she see the car advertised? 3. What name & address was on the logbook? Perhaps Mark can get hold of these details & PM Lordbiscuit

That's what I had to do on my Stolen Oldskool Ford Facebook group, limit it to pre 1990 cars as people were posting about Mondeos & late model Fiestas!

I hope the banger community do the right thing and start to think about introducing some way of checking cars , don't know how they could but i thinbk they need to show that there willing to do something and acknowledge what could be more widespread - I'm not banger boy bashing here though. I guess the cars get pinched because ,1. there are always scumbags , 2. the point that people who have been doing this for years when cars were free-£50 , now don't want or can afford to pay up to a few hundred for cars . I hope the bloke falls down some stairs , walks into a door .... ALL cars that are raced should be made to have their chassis plates still in place & checked off against the DVLA & stolen car database during scruitineering & noted down/posted up on a raced car database. Any stolen cars will be flagged up, anyone using false numbers will be flagged up as they will either not exist or exist on a different car & anyone using plates more than once will be flagged up. Offenders will be highlighted & face either criminal prosecution &/or lifelong bans. Never been a racer but enjoy watching banger racing so have no idea what ID gets checked during scruitineering?

There was something old and gold under a tarp. Possibly a granny/cortina or a yank but I couldn't tell, not too hot on my fords and could only see the rear. I would have and should have taken more pics but the coppers weren't too keen and as they arrived at 6 it got pretty dark pretty quick. I did get one other, had to brighten it in iphoto... The only one that I have on my records which matches that description is a gold 1984 Mk2 Granada Ghia X reg B35UGS stolen from Tilehurst, Reading, Berkshire overnight 15th October 2010. The car is an automatic & the chassis number is WFOFXXGAGFEK88228 Long shot as it's been 3 years?
