That green abortion has been on here before & at that price I can't imagine it selling any time soon.

Is this all it appears to be?

And if it is, why are they hiding the number plate?

At LEAST.

The white one with the obscured number plate - I don't think obscuring the plate is particularly significant in itself, seems to be all the rage with certain dealers.

I think it's just vanity! and who does a white studio shot of a white car?????

I suspect it's got something to do with you being able to check on a cars MOT record now.

If you haven't tried it out do, it's great fun.

Despite us being part of the UK and that we use the same registration documentation, the site doesn't work for NI registered cars as we have a different MoT system to the mainland.

That's a lot of white. Can't imagine all is correct for that price

and...is that the correct front bumper for 59?

Yes Al, guilty

I know I'm biased, but the protection they give during a rebuild or general work is great,
