SIM0NG Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 i use experian at work to check cars that are being scrapped. this tells you if they been damaged or imported, change of colour etc. but if its not been registered it might not bring it up, could be worth a try though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison Motorsport Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Can you get the frame and engine numbers? There will be a country designation code within one or the other of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
