Dutton or no Dutton

I have just come across your advert and wanted to let you know your car may be not have been correctly registered. Unfortunately cars of this type are sometimes put on the road using other cars identities and I believe this may have happened with this car due to the description of being a Dutton GTS Panther. There is no such manufacturer as Dutton GTS, but there are two separate manufactures, Dutton and GTS. GTS made a lotus 7 style car called a Panther (which I believe yours to be). Dutton made various cars but never a 7 style car like yours - pictures of all Dutton models are here http://www.duttonownersclub.co.uk/gallery.html - as such I think you have a GTS Panther that is on the road illegally using a Dutton identity and that your car is likely to need an IVA and registering with the DVLA.
I hope that I am wrong, and that you have not been "had" by a previous owner, but I would certainly check the V5 carefully to ensure it is not registered as a Dutton.

Bill's into carrots now, not cars. Kyle and Rob are both in the slammer. Steve is now running a successful cake company and tinkers with model helicopters in his shed. His car was recovered which he now runs at track days with his son, Ziggy.
HTH
In Feb 2012 the same seller sold this, Dutton Phaeton kit car ,track day hill climb, unfinished project not caterham. so I
am sure he know what a Dutton is and looks like.
I'm impressed that, according to the ad, he's willing to post it!
It's such a shame, as previously said in the tale of Bill, Kyle, Rob and Steve. We are fortunate enough to have our creations on the road as it is. Other countries it's not even possible. And yet you still get the chancers who have to push it that one step further to save a few quid. It's sad because it does look like quite a nice car.
Interestingly, the Dutton he previously sold had "no V5 or ID..." - so now we know why. Far too easy to ring a kit car, and would be hard for some to know the difference between an MK and a Luego - but surely most people looking for one would know a Dutton from a GTS!
