HPI one is as accurate as you can get.

83600 tells you how many owners, when it was made, if its changed colour, if its ever been stolen or scrapped and if it ever been a total loss (written off).

What kinda car is it?

Read it people.

The car started life with numberplate L966TUY. Someone then put a private plate on the car on the 01/10/1996 (A3...) Before, that A3 reg number was on another car that was recorded stolen on 12/09/1995. Then, the current plate (I'm guessing its L966TUY) was transfered back to you car on the 15/02/2000 - probs when the person with the private plate sold the car.

So your car has not been stolen, but previous car with that numberplate A3...

Also, the pervious car might have been the write off. Put your chassis number in, see if it really has gbeen
