I've definately seen this car in the metal when someone owned it where I lived. Those Coil Pack clamps were on there when you bought it correct?

Aye that's right, remember "testing" it against my LCR just after I bought it :cartman: The reg was on it when it was in the Midlands, the owner before the lad (oxygen theif) I know, was called Jay and he did ask to have the plate back but it never happened.

Good to see you're looking after it better than the numpty I know who had it! Looks like its getting some love now.
