Have a look here http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/view-classic-cars-for-sale.php/searchtype/browse/browseby/make/browsevalue/Mini at the 1962mini, its advertised as a reshelled with a mk3/4 rustfree shell, i once had a mini clubman that was reshelled and it had it written on the v5c that it had been done with a tax free reg, maybe the laws have changed now.

I was offered an early mini logbook, with some rust to represent the shell. Apparently they fetch about £200, but of course you wouldn't dream of doing such a thing.

I think they are in demand to "reshell" so people can do some events only open to historic vehicles. I know of at least one, and probably more, that are early 70's cars that have been built using a later shell. Used for historic rallies and so on.

6 months tax on a mini is £71.50, i think its worth a bit more than that!

steve m - 3/9/11 at 07:17 PM

never wise to brag of criminal intent on a public forum.

Exactly! What if it is used to create a new ID for a stolen pride and joy ?
How would you feel if you lost a motor and later found it on show with a 'new' ID ?
