Yeah, they took the car in as a part-ex against an Audi Q5 with no service history as the previous owner who had the car since 2011/12 lost it. Supposedly he later contacted them after finding it during a house move (the 996 was traded against the Q5 due to a new baby).
I spent about an hour going through all the history. Original book with matched VIN sticker and any receipts with reg or VIN match up (had one reg change to a private plate during it's life). I made the mistake of buying a car with dodgy history once before. Book stamps stop in 2012 but there's a stack of receipts from 2001 right through for various work including receipts from SP Autobahn in Stirling.
I'm away with work at the moment and off on a family holiday for a few weeks on Saturday so I won't be chasing them. It'll be interesting to see if and when they contact me and I'm still not sure I'll go with it when they do.
