    Then take off what you can sell and sell it on like this with tax and test

    Theres a lot of money in doing that if you can find the right car. Few members on this club have done the same and then sold the shell on. They even changed over the steering wheel

    dont think many people would like you if you start doing that. If you are wanting to make some money if your that desperate, pick up a 5 and swap the parts over to standard ones and return a 5 back to standard and sell all the none OE stuff.

    They're the DVLA figures I think, so I'm guessing that's the ones in the UK. I'd love to know where they all are

    3557 - Looks like I was a fair bit out with my figures

    That's still a fair old number though.

    Wow that is more than I would have imagined, where on earth are they all? Surely Bob couldn't have whittled them down that much in a year.

    Hmmm Quick? not sure you could describe him as quick.

    LOL in all fairness Bob must keep as many on the road (with spares) as he takes of the road for breaking.

    Theres positive and negative feedback for BOB and you have to be fair.

    Breaking rotten cars is fine. To break a perfectly good car is GAY. However you can do what ya like if you own the car.

    Who on here has paper work for more r5's than

    I myself own 1
    on paper I think I own at least 6,
    simply because I havnt sent the log book off.

    On the flip side to that, how many own one that they don't have any paperwork for? I own a gtt, but it's never been registered, so that won't be on the DVLA system.
