    must admit, it's not a car that I know of, and not on AndyG's list of known cars either.

    That doesn't mean that you should dismiss the car though

    Shows as a pre-reg and was registered by MGR themselves as the dealer number starts with a K. Other than that there is nothing on my radar. Be good to get it into the 'collective' Peter. Welcome aboard.

    Some men see things as they are and say why - I dream things that never were and say why not.

    Many thanks to all for the info you have provided.

    SteveTD - special thanks to you for bringing this one to my attention. I had already looked at this, seen it was non-SE and thought it was Trophy Blue. I really need to get my eyes tested.

    Anyway I went and saw it in the flesh this morning and I can now proudly announce that I am the new owner of VIN #189 in Typhoon. The colour movement from blue to green and purple is just amazing. I was hooked immediately.

    I will have the car in my possession mid next week when I will start a new thread requesting forms to fill in, and provide a little of the car's history. All the paperwork has been kept with the car so I can pinpoint service and mot dates with associated mileage.

    Peter.

    Congratulations.

    The form was sent to you when you registered Peter.

    Thats better the balance is coming back, one Peter is selling and another buys.

    Excellent new Peter! You're going to love it. I was also hooked immediately the first time I saw a monogram colour. Be prepared to discuss the car with complete strangers every time you get petrol (so every other day then!), every time you park it even when you slow down in traffic with your window down!!
