The trouble is there are too many people out there with a vested interest in disguising their car's history. About four years ago I nearly bought a Gordon England Cup: it was being sold as a genuine 1928 GE with apparent provenance and price to match, but it only took half an hour's research the reveal that thirty years ago it was some sort of Cambridge-style special, and back in the fifties it was a 1931 RM saloon! If the registration number had been concealed on the old photographs it would have been much harder to prove the lie.
