Thanks all for the responses. Here is the car in question:

I have no interest other than seeing where it ends up. Seems like a pretty sketchy situation to me and I wonder how he was able to get a 'clean' title to the car involved.
I know it's always been a 'problem' with Porsche's as my brother once had a 356 that had three different numbers on it, front, rear and middle. This Sunbeam doesn't seem to be the same situation though.
I'm also wondering what problem selling/advertising such a car could cause BaT possibly.
