I can't see that German sticker in the ebay ad Ian. Just Alan Reed cars, Halesowen.
Must be the answer to the Reg Date though.

Is there any chance this is the blue car that's been hanging around classic cars for sale for two years? Price coming down all the time.
Great Yarmouth location for both, 1985 in this ad, 'C' plate just visible in the long term ad? (No way of telling just yet).

How do people afford to run their ads half cocked like this? No major campaign to shift the blue car for 2 years.
you're right... crap pictures and a rubbish write up... it was probably worth something when he 1st advertised it 2 years ago.... 2 years being stood around won't have done it the world of good though.... looked quite tidy in the original pic... still, we all know how good cars look in photos...

this'll probably end up being broken by a greedy car breaker and the parts ebayed for outrageous prices.... shame.

I reckon you can count the number of genuinely mint 1st gens in the UK on 1 hand

Probably scrapped if the underside was like the outside! :roll:

Looks like there's a few more years use out of it,before the rust becomes terminal on it,or not economical to repair.
Surprising how few new owners turn up on the forums for advice or to show off their new toy.
