Should I let him get away with this....
There I was looking for a small car trailer on ebay and I wondered over to the Kit cars for sale section. There I found someone selling his half
completed kit car from the same kit car supplier as my car.
Interested I took a look at the photos and then found pics of my car!!!!!
Should I ask the guy for some money for helping to sell his half completed kit or ask him to remove the pics of my car....
What do you think I should do.....

Be flattered... Shows your car as a good example of what can be achieved, he says in the add that is what the last 3 photos are...

Neither. He's specifically stated in his advert that the last three pictures are an example of a similar vehicle taken at a show....

Photos taken in a public place - he's completely within his rights, you may own the car, but his photos are his copyright and he can do what he
wants with them. As others have said, be flattered.
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.

Happend to me a couple of times had the same thoughts as you initially but when you think about it its quite flattering
Would defiantly ask him to blur the plate though.

I reckon as your car was on an exhibition stand with both number plates on view, he isn't the only person with good photos.  With hindsight,
it would have been a good idea to mask the plates while on show, but hey .... bask in the glory!

You'd actually consider asking for money if your car shows up in a photo somebody took in a public place??? If you dont want people looking
at/photographing your car, dont bring it to shows!

Put it another way - if you were selling your part-built car would you put pics of a finished one in the ad?
Plus he's stated it was taken at a SHOW
QED.
Cheers, Pewe

What's the deal with blurring out the reg? I don't get what people are trying to protect, so what am I missing?

I have often wondered that, other than if it were the owners car in the ad it 'advertises' the car and where it is kept, its common on TV
too to blur the plates when the owner is identifiable - which I can understand.
But in this case whats the difference between the photo online, and the 100s of people who photo'd it at the show, or walk past and clock it in
the street
please enlighten me, I'm sure there's a good reason?

You could build/buy any old heap of sh!t, buy some show plates online and drive around without upsetting the ANPR cameras, speed through speed cameras
and totally avoid IVA, not nice.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

but you could walk down the street and take a note of any number plate and do the same, i fail to see the point of masking the plate

But the crims don't even have to get off their backsides when there are so many plates to choose from on the internet and they can get an exact
match on colour and model. TBH it's a much bigger problem for tintops as they don't want to stand out from the crowd so don't tend
to drive/steal unusual cars.
