Another Dutton ringer on ebay
1972 "tax-exempt Formula 27"... unless he kept the Dutton chassis (which it seems not as "RATHER THEM REBUILD THE DUTTON I REPLACED
IT WITH A NEW FORMULA 27 KIT USING ANY SALVAGEABLE PARTS, MAINLY THE ENGINE AND DRIVEGEAR" it needs to be IVAd. What do you reckon? a few
"subtle" questions to the seller, or report to eBay?
P.S. Mycarcheck.com has it as a Dutton Coupe...

funny he lives in a place called crook!
Im fine with people ringing a dutton for their own use, because its them who get shafted when it goes wrong. Selling it without explaining its not
legal is wrong.
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

So anyone who buys it without good knowledge of v5s and SVA/IVA is a dumb twat? I assume dumb twats deserve to get shafted?

In cases of non disclosure or misrepresentation etc, I believe insurance companies will still pay out to third parties. The owner won't be
covered though.

I'm certain the insurers won't have a problem. The days of them trying every way of avoiding a payout are long gone. They take your money
and can take a few payouts and still be in business.
I can't see why folks get excited about these 'ringers'. I don't care. It's not my problem. When I buy a car, I do my
best to find out what it is I'm buying is legtimate. Others should do the same. If they've done it to hide a stolen car, then that's
another matter!
And if anyone sells a log book or ID, they'll have to live with the consequences if they get caught. The guy who sold the docs off a car before
I bought it got an 18 month suspended sentence when I applied for them!

When it's estimated nowadays that 1 in every 5 cars you drive past isn't properly insured who realy cares about a handfull of kit cars
that aren't registered properly! - if someone can't be bothered researching what they're buying before they buy it then more fool
them tbh - and if wrongly registered kit cars on ebay make you realy cross tell ebay about it rather than us because a. there's nothing we can
do about it and b. it's actualy non of our business!

I beg to differ! The whole point of SVA /IVA is to make sure our cars are safe , this car has not passed either . Also our cars tend to be driven
perhaps a little more enthusiastically than most and so potentially are more likely to be involved in an accident. I for one would want to know that
the car had met at least some sort of basic requirements as regards welding/construction etc. How many people on the forum have brought cars rather
than built them , perhaps not knowing the first thing about cars? Alright they perhaps should do some research but some don't. Would you want
one of your friends to buy it knowing that it shouldn't be on the road and may have to have an IVA test costing hundreds if not thousands to get
it through?

There's probably only the same amount in existence just that there are more kits up for sale
this year due to changing priorities brought about by the current financial situation. You only have to look on here to see that.

Not too sure about that.
A guy at work had an accident in the fog, just missed the turn off a main road for a little country lane and clipped the roadsign which was on the
island between exit and entry roads.
Insurance wouldn't pay out as they said his tyres were overinflated and that affected his braking.
In actual fact his tyres were perfectly legal across the whole tread but were worn slightly more in the centre, showing overinflation.
Unfortunately he's one of the "just get on with life and not argue" guys, so didn't fight it, binned the car and moved on.
That was Direct Line iirc.

Ebay don't give a poo about it. They just want their %age and the ability to say "buyer beware" when the buyer finds out
they've got a dud.
Or put it this way- this item was reported yesterday and it's still on there......

I can't totally agree with this statement either!! The SVA/IVA can't check welds. They can have a look at the ones they can see and make
an opinion but unless they carry out non-destruction testing of the chassis or welds then they can't actually test he chassis. They can't
test the design of the chassis. They can express an opinion, but I'm sure they don't hold any sort of engineering certification or can run
any sort of build model. And where does that leave they guys who alter cars after the SVA/IVA? Does it imply that by removing the radio controlled
tyre off the coil over will make the car a danger? Or fitting a different steering wheel? Are these people as bad as folks who are manipulation the
documentation?
As I've said before, it shouldn't bother me as all my cars have proper documents!!

At least the welds that they can see are inspected which obviously in the case of this car the welds are an unknown quality. Inferior/poor welding
would certainly be an SVA /IVA fail . In fact it should be an MOT failure .
