It's MK1 so it would be better as a GTE. I'd like to fit a small block 16v.

They only give £100 for the cars and the amount of old cunts in Bexhill, so it would suprise me if it was off one of them!

Could be but old MOT's wouldn't show up on the system if its been garaged for 20years as its not had any and the chassis "ok" stamp is still visable.

What you've got to realise is that mint sr's, sri's, gte's and gsi's are so rare now that the only way of having a decent one is a poverty spec version and spec it up.

That's why our good friends over at png go mad for them.

Just the same as if a ford fan boy was trying to find a mint rs1800 or turbo etc. you just don't see them any more.
