85_GT/E Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Hi mate just done a tax check on all 3 of your cars for you and the yellow 1 was last taxed in 1996 so to be honest is probably no longer with us but was registered as a 1.8 which is strange???? you said it has a 2.0 but its obviously been re-registered with a 1.8 ohc at some point?????? The other 2 both were last taxed in 2000 so may still be with us they all look very nice motors, my fave is the dolphin grey 1 Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnysideways Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) maybe because it was stiched together by MantaDoc? I seem to remember it was to fund a I240 that I never was allowed to buy ;0( Hi mate just done a tax check on all 3 of your cars for you and the yellow 1 was last taxed in 1996 so to be honest is probably no longer with us but was registered as a 1.8 which is strange???? you said it has a 2.0 but its obviously been re-registered with a 1.8 ohc at some point??????

The Blue one was welded by MantaDoc, it was a interestign project, he spent hours custom welding the exhaust manifold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
