I had my old Granada ringed, I had the real car but a fake logbook, someone else had a fake car and the real logbook to my car, he got his car taken and crushed and lost 4 grand I think.

Cloning (or ringing as it was called in my day) isn't just about changing the engine & chassis numbers if you are doing the job properly.
Just about everything (interior, wiring loom, glass, etc) all end up relating back to the car in some small way. I will concede however that once the engine & chassis numbers are gone, then any further evidence (such as the wiring loom) becomes purely circumstantial.

Cloning and Ringing are 2 different acts of changing a cars identity
Cloning is a simpliar way and generally only requires you to change the number plates and move the car quickly
 
Ringing is where you buy a write off or damaged car and then steal a car that is the same model amd year as the 1 you,ve brought and you change the plates vin chassis numbers and sell it on

Thanks for clarifying the exact definition of ringing for me, but please allow me to elucidate further for the other members here.

The term "ringing" is actually a slang term, the charge when you are stood in the dock is called theft
