I'm looking for some advice and local DVLA knowledge.

A car has come up for sale in New Jersey that I am keen to buy and ship to where I live in Scotland.

According to the seller, it was bult on the chassis of a 1970 TVR, which has been modified, fitted with a non-TVR fiberglass body and the good ol' SBC, but never completed.

-The current owner did not build it, but has owned it for 25 years and has not finished it.
-It has no title, just a bill of sale from 1991.
-It has no VIN number. The TVR VIN was on a plate on the firewall...of the TVR body, which is long gone. TVRs of that period did not have a VIN or chassis number stamped into the chassis.
-Without a title, it is going to be VERY difficult to get it out of the US.

Any advice on the quickest/cheapest/easiest route to obtaining a title would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Any information apprecited. Thanks.

Any way to break it down and send it as parts? It won't get you a title but it may make getting it to you easier.

Otherwise I'd walk. No title = no interest for me. It's amazing how easy it allegedly is to get titles with bills of sale yet no seller ever gets one.....strange.
