Thank you for all your help, I have called up Fpv, and the car matches up with the vin number, but I guess my main concern is not having the silver surround, it also doesnt have a number on the Fpv plate in the engine, and the spare wheel is an xr6 wheel. Just in regards to the spare wheel/tyre, should it be the same as the bf f6 wheel or is it a space saver? I guess my general concern about the car is that it could have been written off in another state, and then brought over to sydney and transferred all the parts into another chassis, and then swapped all the tags. the current owner is telling me he bought it like this, and it does have all the log books, but not the individual numbered certificate. I have done a Revs check and it is all fine. Has anyone had an experience or seen anything like this before? Regards David
