cheers for looking out for me chaps! i appreciate the advice!! ill get the blue 1!
Just one small thing to watch here mate. The registration is 'Not Found' at DVLA. That's not unusual if a car's been laid up a long time. but I didn't figure this one had.
I'm confident it means nothing, but if I were buying I'd want to know why it's not on the DVLA SORN or unlicenced database.

Other than Daves that must be one of the last to be registered.

Dislexkic......I'd been keying in D972......just done it again and I made the same error..... ;s;


The last VIN as far as we know was JMZFB131200705582.

The holder of that honour is likely to be on a 'D' plate?

This blue one looks just right somehow.

That damage looks like just body panels and bits....easy. Look at the inside inner wing as well, it's clean. The whole thing shouts out that it's OK.

Hope the rear end is as good.

I'm currently holding the last place in the VIN competition......About a dozen from the end......How long for I wonder?
