I'm guessing the car wasn't bought for a lot of money.

Go to small claims court and reverse the transaction.

Or burnt? But it looks like OP paid for a car only to find out :
1) it has no papers
2) it was abandoned
3) it was in a fire

Unless op plans to strip for parts or scrap then walk away. Sounds like the guy you paid just found it somewhere and decided to sell it along.

Many different ways this is illegal. It will be unlikely you will be able to register the car on your own name.

Basically dodgy as hell

Be very careful you do not land in jail for receiving stolen property .

I agree: basically very dodgy.

OTOH the car has most probably been scrapped, so registration probably is possible, though at a serious price ...
