    First Reg date is 20/11/06 - really hope it didn't sit in a field at Rover for 2 1/2 years?

    Not a field, but probably next to a railway line!

    VIN number is not important as most were built in a short space of time and were not registered in order, my first one 323 had a 55 plate, the second 349 is a 54 plate

    They will have been sat somewhere until registered so 06/07 have been parked up for a long time and were not usually under cover or looked after particularly.

    just check the paintwork and remember they are all at least 6 years old now I think!

    Cool

    Thanks Colin- she's now sitting nicely on my drive - finally got to work at 3pm after a couple of detours and the window down - who needs a radio with that soundtrack?

    Now I'm meaner & greener, (can I have my beret now please sir?) now what to add first - K&N? Accufab? and X-Powers or Zeros? Decisions, decisions

    Thanks all for your advice guys - it only took me 3 years to get there!

    No real decisions, you'll probably find it really difficult to get a hold of X-Powers so just get everything else !!!



    Enjoy there's nothing quite like it.

    Congrats to your new car!:-)
    I had a 850km trip home in mine and I loved every minute of it.
    Good luck with all the goodies you want to add, just makes the car even better.:-)
    There is no substitute for cubic inches!
