Start with the DMV, they can instruct you. Good news is it sounds like you
will have plenty of time to go through the process, will probably involve an on
site inspection by your local constabulary.

I hope I don't regret this.....
I was put in contact with a gentleman with 2 TR3a projects that he feels he
will never finish. They come with the parts he had been accumulating including
an OD and various tools, hoists, etc.
One is completely disassembled and in boxes. Frame was restored but that is
it. no floors and body is in two pieces front half from one car and rear half
from another..... Paint is ratty and tatty. new floor pans and sills come with
it.
The other is still on frame but fenders and doors are inside the car. Paint
ratty and tatty as well -- dont' know about the chrome....
Cars are out of state and my triumph club friends are going to make a road trip
with me to retrieve the cars and the parts that he had purchased to restore one
of them.
Based on the condition of the cars, I doubt very seriously if they were
stolen, but one never knows.
I'm not super worried about the physical condition of the cars, I think I have
seen worse and recovered..... If they are beyond repair upon receipt, the
parts, OD, and body panels cover what I'm paying.
Here's the rub.
He no longer has the titles for the cars and they were not in his name. I'd
like to make these runners vs parting them out. he was able to find a bill of
sale for one, but titles tend to override those...
Do I simply call the DMV and ask to run the VIN numbers or is there a more
involved process? I'm in north Carolina.
Any suggestions on the best course of action here?
Thanks
