Re: Blue coupe near Cardiff?

It was difficult to see exactly what it was Brad, because it was driving in the opposite direction - but I'm guessing a Sterling?

Blue coupe near Cardiff?

Spotted today on A470 near Cardiff, blue coupe, number plate something like P35 DTT?

Looked really smart and a lovely colour and it was nice to see.

Does it belong to anyone here?

Re: 820Si D354 STT

You are right, the 800 really did have a classy and airy interior:)

The 200 was nice too.

Not sure...but it was I who also owned the dark blue coupe, which is now long-gone....

But whoever owns that fastback can be rightly proud, it's in great order!

My Mk1 Si - now with pics!

Hi, just thought I'd try and put up some pics of our H reg 820si auto, in black. This was a mayoral car until about 1998, when I bought it. It's MOTd every year, but we don't use it much now. Mileage was about 69,000 in 2002, and now it's about 70,000! Any idea how to upload a photo?[/list] Got pics...

Maybe the sills are bad enough to fail the MOT? The rear foglight switch is an MOT failure, but, as you say,is easy to replace. The boot not opening is a failurepoint too. This happened on our car last year - for some reason, the internal release just stopped working, and the key wouldn't open the b...
