There's money in breaking that even though the engine, being the 2.0 4 pot, has probably had it.

Checked MOT it expires 27November 2024 its got 114k miles at last MOT.
Looks like its got water leak issues from the windows or roof.
If its a terminal issue with the engine then money in it as a breaker, pointless just dumping it. Authorities will catchup with the registered keeper its taxed till November 2024!!

I've been watching one unused in a local front garden for some time. No MOT and some very involved failures and advisories since its first MOT. The side of the hood was cut recently presumably for access.

On a brighter note- this red Z4 was at a local breakfast meet this week. I wonder what the justification was for using that reg number!IMG_9650.JPG

Maybe he used to own one, and got fed up of always having to repair it? ;)

He's parked next to an MG midget (or is it a sprite) so maybe they're buddies.

Years ago I bought a spitfire and the previous pillock, I mean owner, had put a "TVR" plate on it. First thing I did was sell the plate and got most of the money back that I'd paid for the car.

perhaps the pillock's name was TreVoR? :whistle:;)

My personal plate was originally for my Z3, with my name in the native language of my then partner as the last three letters. It has subsequently been on an S Klasse Merc and currently on a Merc GLE. That's why they were 'personal' before being called 'cherished'.
