I think this car will be the gold series2 car that was up on gumtree for a long time with one photo of it in a garage. He had it up at £600 and his location was Willesden.

?????? Doing my 'ead in this one.

Reads as 2 different Gold S2's in same area.

Car 1 is LIA (thanks for that dear owner),with 50,000 miles on it. Last seen for sale 2012.

Car 2 is an 1983 'A' Reg but with 70,000 miles on it.

Could be same car if the poster is guessing the miles without going to the lock up but how can 'LIA' (Irish plate by the way) be read as an 'A' plate......I suppose it's possible.

remember this from about 4 years back? it was sold about 6 times in as many months, first time for about 100 quid and then for a bit more each time after that.

This my cars twin brother - 1 sequential digit out on the reg, same colour and spec and almost identical miles... hope mine is worth more than 500 quid though! :)

Ah, Now the sad news, your car was one of quintuplets Ramon. All registered on 28th Nov '85, All Tender Blue Metallic.

966, 967 and 968 are all working away as white goods now.
