It's a parts car, but not if you need an engine.......

Reserve looks optimistic?

I've seen a few UK owners on Facebook recently that I don't think are on the forum. B767 XYK red car. And B446 TRH is being restored, the owner said he was struggling with the forum. Also I've seen a glass sunroof on eBay, which I want but I think is far too expensive :/ is the seller on here?

James you are right that is a lot for a glass roof, they used to go for about £250 but that was some time ago. The best way to get one is wait for a breaker that has one, they are about. As for the seller its hard to tell unless they own up.

God luck

I've no records on XYK James.......If you could check it out and let me know where in the country is is that would be great.
Also could you just recheck the reg as I've got a red series 3 very close to that one?

the fella is from Manchester I believe, he told me he sold it after it was vandalised as he couldn't find a replacement mirror or bumper bracket. it shows up as not insured so not on the road now.

That's great James.....more than I expected.

It's also led me to think that B766 XYK was a Black series 3, also now scrapped.
(There's often a reg cluster where a single Mazda dealer or Mazda themselves put a few cars on the road).
