ta stu..

\'Tis narrow indeed for them bat-eared mirrors. My garage is wide so I never noticed the ugly mirrors. Grrrr. Stu what have you done?.....:Hammer

It was on ebay last summer in King\'s Lynn.Didn\'t sell then. Looks quite nice.
Anyone noticed there\'s not many underbonnet pics on recent car ads?

If it\'s as good as it looks and the seller says it is, they should put a mot on it.
For the price they\'re asking, I\'d want a long mot.
Always makes me suspicious when a car is described as \'in excellent condition\' but without a current mot.
I\'d want it super cheap to cover myself.

Not got that....shows as Unlicensed since 1998 so surely a long time scrapper.

Where did you find it Ian?....sometimes when checking on DVLA a trawl of the surrounding numbers throws up 1st Gen registrations in clusters. Or sometimes there\'s a cluster of Mazda\'s but not all RX7\'s.

Interestingly I\'ve also got A715 NKP, Red,  which was in a couple of mags in the 1980\'s and 90\'s. Also now unlicensed and in my long time scrappers pile,
