I don't think it was Brian who invented it but he is the agent for them. I have heard another name mentioned in connection with them but can't remember who it was.

There's something not right here. The guy was sold my car with no history folder whatsoever, no books, no manuals. I sold the car with a full set of them, to a seller who's now advertising another Xantia V6, and it has a set of manuals on the front seat which look suspiciously like the ones from "my" car. I'm sure I'm not the only person who folds bits of service history so they come over the outside of the manuals, but you know when you see something in a picture and think immediately "that's mine!"....

oh dear, this sounds dodgy, but i cant see why there would be some fishy business going on between xantia v6s? maybe a mix up or something, i've had a reply, and he said a swap could be doable. i'll have a think.

Simple. Dealer has good looking, all working car with no history or manuals and not so good car with history and manuals. As many of the bills have no reg number on...easy to make the good looking car worth more by nicking the history from the poorer car.

This isn't being done by the current seller...

There's nowt dodgy about that red car. It's well known on here... it's the previous seller that's a bit iffy. Tim who is selling the red one told me yesterday if it doesn't sell he'll apply for a V5 and get some use out of it.
