Not quite ‘on’ the road but even though it’s got a current MOT it’s not moved for a while

Surely not an Evo though?

 

[Spider10]

He's owned it since 2003 and originally paid £13k so i think £2k is abit on the wild side

Nope......a Delta HF Integrale 16v.....very similar car though.

When I bought it, it had a blown engine (they all blow sooner of later!) and needed fair bit of paint. They were just old rusty cars when I bought it through the trade!!

Hi
Spotted this Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor in Abu Dhabi the other day.
The owner told me he personally imported it from USA 5 years ago.
Steel wheels, basic interior, updated suspension, huge nudge bars on the front - are some of the modifications that Ford did to these cars from the factory, for police use.


Cheers
Steve

Buddy of mine has an Evo. He’s probably spent £40,000 on it over the 15 years he’s had it.

£100,000 all day.

Reading the spec, is it a bit tarted up?

 

[Spider10]

Its had a furtune spent on it over the year's but imo he should of kept it standard to keep his target market as big as possible

I dont understand why they say it is 1992 when it has a "N" reg which says 1994-95?? You cannot put a newer plate on an older car??

One of these burbling past work just now.....in this grey colour that they all seem to be.....roof off too!. Pity its only got 6 pots but it still sounded great.....first Spyder version I have seen on the road.
Needless to say the front plate had "gone missing"!!

It can happen. I have 2002 plate on a vehicle manufactured in 1999. What mine and the Integrale have in common is they are both imports. Mine went to Spain (from USA) when new for three years and then to the UK - which is where the discrepancy likely arose. Why the discrepancy with the Lancia I don't know but possibly the UK wasn't the first country it encountered out of Italy or maybe just a blunder - in its and my registration allocations.

It used to happen all the time.....my friend has an import 1969 Charger.....with 1980 W reg plates!......cars were often giving a plate relating to the date of import rather than of manufacture. Should not have been possible on a 99 though.....unless it was in stock for three yeas before being sold.....then it gets the plate of registration date or course ....not build date. A 1999 built import car should have 99 plate (T Reg) and would have been required to provide proof of age before the DVLA issued a plate and V5C...........either the overseas reg doc or a letter of proof of date of manufacture from an authorised members club or recognised authority.

I think N is actually 95-96. My old 124 is M-reg and was registered in early 95. (Unless mine has an incorrect plate too!!)

There is the possibility that my 1999 came first to the UK from the USA in 1999, was exported for use by the UN in Spain, then reimported to the UK in 2002. If, the original importer had retained ownership for those three years, leasing it to the UN, then I suppose its first sale to the public by a dealer was in 2002. Or, just a blunder.

According to the DVLA, it was manufactured in 95 and first registered in the UK in 2000.

This at work...very clean and, unlike most, looked pretty stock. Full leather in one is pretty rare too.
