Without going into too much detail, I've been offered a car thats been in storage for a while by the person that owns the storage company.

The car was collected in one part of the country and transported to the far side by request of the man that was building it, who had completed his part of the transaction and had contacted D, the owner, and explained it was being sent to him. D agreed and would make contact with the transporter and arrange delivery from the transporters depo, around 1hr from D's house the day after it would be collected.

D failed to make contact for 3 days and when he did, it was agreed the car would be collected inside the next 2 days or he woukd incur storage charges and after a further 7 days it woukd be scrapped. The transporter has tried to make contact via phone and text but has no address to make contact at.

The transporter has offered me the car 7 weeks on with no further contact from D.

where do I stand legally if I buy this car?
