That’s why he needs to give it a new identity.

Is it worth me reporting this to the police?

Not sure if they'll just tell me to sod off. DVLA may be better?

Give the non-emergency number (or local police station) a call. If it's someone they already suspect, then maybe it will help in setting up an operation to catch him & his mates in the act - it may not just be a one-off.

Maybe he's got a stolen Z4 that needs a new identity, much more profitable?

I would say the police would be interested, maybe trading standards? They are probably looking for idiots like that all the time.
Very dodgy indeed!

Certainly wouldn't do any harm to flag it up. Probably a drop in the ocean, but have to start somewhere with these people.

Absolutely. Let us know how you get on. Here's his facebook page:

If no-one else does it, I'm happy to! Hate this stuff!

He'll never make a super villain!, if he tells everyone what his criminal intentions are by Fbook!

Just be sure of your ground here, it is not illegal to put a category B vehicle back on the road, but its V5 will be marked as such and only a few specialist insurers would give it cover making it unattractive. Insurers and salvage firms have protocols to ensure category B vehicles cannot be repaired but some do slip through and there are myriad stories of cars being wrongly classified, or not classified at all. This may be a perfectly decent Z4 that can be put back on the road, but changing the identity is not the right or legal way to do it.

Wow, just wow.

Would it be ethical to sell him the parts he wants, but from a category A vehicle?
