the car does belong to the bodyshop after a certain period of time, cant remember the period but sure its alot less than 2 1/2 years. So imo if u can get the doc's etc to register the car as ures then u cud legally buy it

right, i got given a honda vision from a landloard of a pub as it was taking up room and it belonged to a member of the bar staff which left over a year ago. i sent away for a log book and it came back in my name! so you could always try that. this was 5 years ago tho!
