Then I checked out the garage (should have done that before i bought the car d'uh) similar stories all over the place. A relative of mine is a police officer and he checked them up and apparently the garage is a drug front and the owners and workers there all have serious records. Anyway, long story short i never saw the car again but I eventually got my money back after a couple of years and a decent solicitor

Bloody hell. Did the relative not have them all busted for the drugs?
