Google has some amazing features for finding specific resources and viewing source code to find information that typically is not found by a normal search.
Are you at liberty to spill the beans on how this is done? I’ve tried using the Google advanced search using the VRN and it did find the car at CarSnitch but nowhere else, reverse image searching with a photo of the VRN which didn’t reveal anything, looking through website source code and nothing was revealed either…

It came up Saturday and I thought it had great spec.

Little did I know it's past life
I was eyeing-up the red V6 S that they had up for sale a few weeks ago, but after reading reviews about Auto100, I decided to steer well clear of them.

Seems like they have a knack for selling pretty cars with a lot of hidden issues :shock:

So for example put the reg into Google images with quotes IE "AB12 CDE" both with and without spaces.

To be fair to auto 100 as they are on trust pilot you get both good and bad reviews.
I doubt that they would have been able to know the svr I was looking at had been used by jaguar for track work. They said it was a of from a man who bought a range rover from them.
It was thanks to simple R on here doing such amazing detective work.
I think it had had 3 owners so no doubt none of them would have been any the wiser either.
It's a minefield buying a performance car :o
