About 4 weeks ago I swapped my camper van for a car.

Had a phone call today saying the camper van was a ringer.

He was having some work done on it and the mechanic noticed weld around
the VIN plate on the side door well and that the VIN plate in the engine
area was pop riveted on.

Now it is a N reg old style transit that has been converted to a camper.
I can't see myself that anyone would go to the bother of ringing an old
transit then converting it to a camper, at a lot of expense.

I bought the van 6 month ago from a genuine bloke a few miles away. He
is not the type to ring vans at all.

Saying it is a ringer and he goes tot eh police where do I stand. Will I
have to give him his car back and then pursue the person I bought it
from for the money back ?

I've had cars in the past where the Vin plate was held on by pop
rivets and they were legit cars .
How much welding is there . surely a ringer would have a lot of
welding ..could it not just be repairs to the sills .
Can you travel to look at it yourself .
