it is so frustrating. I reckon its been owned by an older person, it's bone stock, its got a white GB sticker on the boot lid. either the owner never changed the tyres or when he did he stuck with the factory bridgstone RE050's, rears have about 4mm of tread and fronts have about 7mm of tread left on them and not a kerb mark on any of them. fabric roof looks brand new so hard top has probably always been on apart from when theyve had some roof down days

Tell them they can chuffing wait! Pressure them for who they obtained it from or they won't ever get their certificate, it's no business of theirs how long you keep it for before it gets the chop.

Unfortunately rich it does. If we don't submit the COD's for the cat b cars then they'll revoke our buyers account and that would be a disaster as they are our main source of vehicles

It's got a very-typical S2000 even tyre wear.

You're right Marc - looks in perfect condition.

What a shame - any mileage in selling the whole thing (minus the non-closing panels of the bodyshell) as a 'glider kit' for someone who wants to refurbish a high-mileage car?

Everything will be for sale from it. Including any quarter panels, chassis legs etc. We could effectivley cut the car into 4 quarters and sell the lot as long as there are no vin numbers on the sections sold

Wonder whether this is maybe a stolen recovered that has been paid out, since found, and should actually be a cat D, not B and there has been a typo somewhere down the chain. Nothing re that car looks like a B.

Cant you "crush it" and then re-register it?

Like kit cars when they are built have to get an identity, just get a new one for this?

I'd be interested in the soft top subject to price but this for some reason is really pissing me off.....

I sold the last soft top with glass rear screen for £150 so this would be the same price. It has the blue fabric roof.
