Ned,
If a car has been in the same ownership for many years and was bought on a bill of sale, there's 'no reasonable doubt as to continuous history'.
'Title', in its general international use, refers to the legal basis for the ownership of any personal property, such as houses, furniture, pictures, land, vehicles, agricultural machinery etc. Road registration in many countries is not demonstration of ownership; in the UK, for example, the V5C makes this very point: it records the car's 'keeper', not owner, and is not demonstration of title. Tens of thousands of leased cars are owned by their lessors, but their named V5C keepers are their lessees, not owners.
As you know, the SAAC and the ACOC are as one on all our definitions.
All the best
Robin
