There's always the VIN No. on the bulkhead to ID or record a shell. Please drive back to Derby Nik...... :idea:

I love that mushy-pea green as well.
A lot of little Euroboxes and mass produced Korean/Jap cars are being turned out in purest green this year. They must have read our bloggs.

The guy who used to run the workshop for Richard Knight cars in Kilburn used to have a pea green series 1 elford back in the early 80's, come to think on it I dont remember any other series 1 elfords.

Sadly, it's not my pic, I saw it in the "abandoned cars" thread on Retro Rides. If it matters to you guys (Dave? :lol: ) I can PM the guy who took it and ask him if he'd mind trying to get the VIN number?

And yeah, I noticed it was the pea green inside too. Funnily enough, I like that colour too though I kinda feel it's wrong somehow. That interior's definitely wrong :shock: Maybe it's cos of "that" SA in the Mazda museum and all those photos we all feel well disposed towards it?
