    Hey all, I'm doing a Cartell history check on a car for the other half.

    And one discrepancy has popped up:

    It says the car's colour has changed, from silver to black. But this seemed to happen just two weeks after the car was first registered.

    Here's how it appears on my report:

    COLOUR RECORDED: SILVER
    COLOUR DATE: BLACK
    COLOUR CHANGE: 28-Feb-2005
    DATE OF FIRST REGISTRATION: 17-Feb-2005
    The colour of this vehicle has changed. The vehicle may have beenresprayed, possibly indicative of repair work following an incident

    It can't have been crashed 13 days after first registration and resprayed?????

    I wonder was it just a mistake on the original logbook that the dealer had fixed?

    Other than this the Cartell check comes up fine (bar a period of unpaid tax when it changed owners).

    Any opinions? Thanks :)

    Maybe Shannon ****ed up the original log book and had the wrong colour on it, owner buys car, gets log book two weeks later, sends it back to Shannon for correction, mystery over.

    The colour code will be on the chassis plate

    Was it part of a company fleet that is all silver?
