Might be two cars in one. Cut and shut anyone?

Official estimates say there could be 30,000 cut and shuts on UK roads. The problem is a vehicle history check would only pick up on outstanding finance or if a car had been a write-off. However, background investigation firm HPI had this advice:

1. Cut and shuts are usually joined at the top of the rear windscreen and through the C-pillars. Pay close attention to these areas, and check the upholstery, too.
2. Keep an eye out for any uneven panel gaps and mismatched or varying paint shades.
3. Check for faint traces of paint spray on door handles and any spillage on the window seals.
4. Never view a car in the rain or poor light. It’s harder to spot those important obvious flaws.
5. Find the car’s VIN number – does it correspond with what appears on the paperwork?
6. Look at the service history and past MoT certificates if available, and question any unexplained gaps.
7. Be wary of extremely cheap cars – if a deal sounds too good to be true, then it probably is."

So apart from the mismatched alloy wheels, does the car have leather front seats and cloth rear seats? All those extra body panels could be hiding weld lines. If the front of the car is Silver and the back of the car is Blue, it is probably a Cut and Shut. If the car you are looking at appear to be a Shooting Brake back end coupled to a B Class front end, it is possible it is a Cut and Shut.

The possibilities are endless. I wonder if there is a Cut and Shut competition for the wackiest Cut and Shuts out there?

That looks like it might have been a pair of Renault 21s once!

That looks like it might have been a pair of Renault 21s once!

Mind you, they probably would have been less trouble!
