Albert I feel your pain. I've been around in Eastern Europe and Africa and understand how things work and the huge wall of bureaucracy and often corruption to wade through.I am a realist too and would have no concerns about presenting someones car for testing .My concern was the "ringers"-using the details of say a scrap car to run an untested self build and other potentially dangerous practices.
I'm happy to "buy" your car and "sell" it to you after testing.
