144k? that'll be due a major service. I'd be wanting that included in the price, unless you're handy with a toolkit |

I would be checking all the usual places for rust, check out shrekkys thread on rust spot repairs, his car is a c reg...seen it myself today...what an eye opener. |

Can't seem to find it, Its not in the DVLA database and a car I know was scrapped 5 years ago still remains on there, so its not been around in England for longer than that on that reg number. Might have gone to the big scrap yard in the sky Or possibly it was exported or is living under a private plate, We can always hope

J849LVU dad's plate may have been. Saw it today, I was really deflated, major rust all wings, rear windscreen, hole into boot, wet under carpet drivers, ductape used in the enginebay to seal pipes. Really thought, maybe parts car, was nice bodykit, alloys interior??? Maybe £250-300 parts, did have MOT though, so could have driven it back???

That's so sad to hear cliff, I'm sure the right one will turn up for you...just a matter of looking everywhere,the good thing is you checked the car over in all the right places...took a year to find mine!!!! |

tan leather is pretty rare ... and if it had nice alloys (not a body kit man myself) then looks/sounds a decent parts car |
