Steve:
1- How reliable is the source that claims to know this car was stolen in 1993?
2- If this foreign country is Canada, I can assure you that no matter where it
is in Canada and having been previously stolen, it could not be registered
five times as every car being registered goes through a CPIC check. CPIC is
where everything reproted stolen, no matter to which police force in Canada,
is entered and when registering the car it would be retrieved as stolen.
3- If it's in another country, sorry I don't know their procedures but I would
imagine that they have something somewhat similar by now, CPIC has been around
since 1973 in Canada.
4- After confirming whether it was really stolen or not, I would certainly
advise the current owner.

> Hello, Healeyphiles -
>
> I just received a completed questionnaire
> (http://www.britishcarforum.com/bj8quest.html) with the details of a BJ8
for
> the registry. The owner (not in the USA) bought this car in 2007 and has a
> record of 5 previous owners (all in the same country as the current owner).
> This record takes the car back to 1990 and its arrival in the foreign
> country. He asks if I have any previous history on this car during its time
> in the USA. The car left the USA in 1990.
>
> The only record I have of it is one from a foreign source in 2003 that says
> the car was stolen from its owner's garage in 1993. I do not have any
> contact information for that owner due to privacy concerns.
>
> Just thought I would pose this to the list as an interesting situation, and
> see what the consensus is on how I should proceed.
