Hi everyone!
Rei99 from Italy here... I take away one of your \'7 last year :p
Better, it was an USA model arrived in UK in the 1989, and now coming in a LHD country
Here some info and photos, in Italian:

Thank You for the information.
I think you have shown the car in Essex before you took it to Italy? I have got the Registration No. from when it was driving in UK.  Thanks Again.
Did you take all those spare parts to Italy with you or did you leave some for us poor UK people? We have no money now!! (Joking---but only a little bit, we do seem to have some problemo!).

[rei99]

I have saw it in Ebay, the price was lower (due to LHD in UK I think) and I came with ariplane there, and an artic truck is arrived the day later... I was lucky the car was good, otherwise the artic was there and I must buy it in every condition
The artic was the only solution to take all the spare parts with the car. To be true, I have bought the car better for the spare parts, because I already own 2 SA22C and the engines 12A in Italy are unique, not rare

My friend, very sad but also here the money are very low... I want to buy an FD, but so much problem with this crysis
If you search some spare parts, happy to send to you

Well, the year, or better still the V5 date would be good.

Did the americans just use the 13B in the states? Did you get no 12A\'s imported into Italy?
I assume you can get them rebuilt OK?

Great - thanks Baz.

Sorry but my English could be better :3Confused
The Sa22C you see was sold with 3 12A engine. I bought because is near impossible to find a 12A/13B in Italy. There were 2/3 persone that make a good rebuild, but there so few Sa22C that the problem is find the engine....
13B is more difficult to find gold

Like you can see here I\'ve also 2other first gen, with this USA model are 3 in total. Now I\'ve an engine for every car, but I don\'t know the condition.... If one day I must put in the car I will check... By now, it will not be necessary: the car with more miles/km have 70.000km

[David Nock (RIP)]

Your english is excellent my friend. I\'ve also got a spare engine and also like you I don\'t know the condition. One day perhaps, but only done 52,000 miles so far in our FB.

[rei99]

Too gently David
A question for your: you know if there\'s some FB with 13engine in UK? If yes, RHD with 13B swap or GSL-SE imported from USA? A GSL-SE (maybe white, red or black) in good condition was my dream more than a FD

[David Nock (RIP)]

There are some but I think they\'re UK cars with 13B swap.
Don\'t know of any GSL-SE imports, presume LHD wanted. Any other members know of any??

[mpk490p]

David found some old number plates today in the garage, my first FB was B890 WYU which was transfered to MPK490P and my current FB was origionaly C921 EKL will have to try and dig out some of the other reg\'s of previous ones

Mark

[David Nock (RIP)]

Some interest has come out of that post Mark. I\'ve already got a custom yellow series 3, C921 EKL, on record, taken from the MRC calendar. That\'s as well as your current Reg. So therefore I can delete EKL because it appears twice. (DVLA don\'t reissue returned numbers do they)? Besides it\'s down as a custom yellow with big spoiler so it\'s the same car.
On B890 WYU. Did you sell it as MPK 490P? So is MPK 490P still out there? What Series and what colour is/was it? Has to be S3 I suppose, on a B plate.
