Photo request VIN Plate

[TerryJenk]

3 years ago I bought a 55 plate E53 , transferred a private plate to it . Had a full HPI check etc.

2 months ago I had a request for a DVLA vehicle inspection. When I asked what the problem was I was told that another E53 had turned up in another part of the country with the same VIN , they checked mine and thought it was genuine , said it could be a clerical error .

A month later I had a request for a police vehicle inspection. They too thought the vehicle was ok but took details off various parts of the car to cross check with BMW UK.

I then received a phone call from the police saying it was a stolen , cloned vehicle !

They sent a low loader and took it away.

I have now purchased MY ! car back from the insurance company who it legally belonged to.
Not ideal but I know the car and it was the cheapest option !

However I now have to get the correct VIN number restored and have a VOSA vehicle identity check before I can get a V5 for the car.

I can get the VIN number stamped on the inner wing redone and the police have told me how to do the one under the windscreen.

My problem is the VIN plate stuck on the left inner wing - I can get one done but I don't know what information was on the plate -

I was wondering if someone with a 55 plate in the UK ( preferably silver ) could take a photo of their VIN plate ? My counterfeit one was stuck on the left inner wing approx 30 cm back from the front.

Please delete your own VIN on the photo - I already have 2

Thanks in anticipation
