Spotted this while browsing Google with a somewhat ominous attachment in the windscreen.

Must still be around somewhere. The MoT expired only last June. Not showing as taxed though which is a bit naughty - should either be taxed or on a SORN. What happened to all those automatic fines certain tabloid style classic car publications were always banging on about, with the DVLA persecuting innocent collectors with driveways full of rotting untaxed cars?

The lack of tax or SORN is what worried me that someone nefarious evildoer had got to it. It does look a very handsome 1.8, always was fond of the wing-mounted mirrors.

I know the guy who used to own it. He had it restored and sold it a couple of years ago for a decent sum. Not sure who it ended up with but there's no way he would have sold it to somebody who wouldn't look after it.
