How Many 1st Gens Still Running?

[Ian65]

DVLA records show that this car was manufactured in 1981 but 1st registered in the UK on 26.04.1999. An import perhaps? or error in DVLA\'s records!

No it isn\'t, but is it a Series 3 1st gen or a Series 1? The Reg and the colour suggests S1 but of course you can make a car look older with a transferred plate.
Where was it roughly?
Thanks very much.

It was a pearl white kind of colour. Driven by an older lady. It was obviously garaged, and may have been street ported by the sound of it. Definately a Series 2/3.

And I\'ve seen it twice, both times in Kingston (SW London).

Thanks again for that. Maybe an S2 import then if it\'s a 1981 on DVLA.

What about the older lady? Was she tidy? A fit old bird perhaps? Leerish grin.

It used to belong to a guy named Paul, had the user name riber3. If I recall he had a 3 litre Vauxhall Omega engine under the bonnet.

Yep, that\'s what I had down for it. Presume it\'s Paul that\'s selling. He wanted a swop for something suitable a few months ago.

Ah now, The Resurrection Shuffle begins.
This car was going to be broken for parts in Newcastle in March. An occasion for a car on the scrapper list to rejoin the list of the living.
Well spotted Stu.

Hi David, have you got the details of the C plater that Donavon is breaking at the mo on another thread too?

[David Nock (RIP)]

Thanks guys, the fleabay one looks quite reasonable for what seems to be a car last run 15 years ago.
And the C plate being broken, I\'m on to it Capt. He might have 2 cars scrapping.....lucky day if I can extract the magic numbers!

Better than that - 1 scrapping, 1 runner ongoing. Had the first (C plater) but not the second car - a Series 2.:Snoring Cum\'on guys, wake up, this is interesting!
