Re: Today I have been mostly Silver
Very cool to see that these girls are well taken care of.
That 825 Sterling is so rare in my country (Netherlands), only one remains, from what year is your Vitesse?
i see some things that are different with my '89 version.
Cool fleet!!

Re: Today I have been mostly Silver
Thanks - the 825 Sterling is also rare here - there are only 2 licensed and 2 off the road - for all cars made in 1986. This one is chassis 627, made in the first week of production.
Its thread is here:

The Vitesse in a 91 model, it has a thread here :

Re: Today I have been mostly Silver
Tim. That 825 is so lovely. Please consider me if you ever decide to part with it. A D-reg 825 Sterling is my dream car (despite the fact I gave an E-reg 825 already) especially one as beautiful as that. I did get a chance to drive the D-reg from Birmingham to Worcester one time, it being one of the best mk1s I have ever driven, the only other one I drove was one Brad had sometime back, a G-reg 827 Sterling.

Re: Today I have been mostly Silver
Thanks Mo - Rebecca truly is a lovely drive. One careful owner for 22 years shows... Will let you know if I ever decide to let her go...

Re: Today I have been mostly Silver
They are both fabulous Tim. A real credit to you.
If Mo gets first dibs on the Sterling any chance I could have first dibs on the Vitesse
Fastbacks. Don't you just love em.

Re: Today I have been mostly Silver
Beautiful cars Tim.
Sorry to digress but what's up with your 825 Mo? I'm surprised there are just 4 examples left; a few years ago I owned E909XFM, which was a similar car to Tim's but one of the last 825...
The pictures flatter it greatly. Wonder where it is now...

Re: Today I have been mostly Silver
My 825, 'E50 UKJ' has been sitting in my garage since I bought it. It needs recomissioning work to get it back on road. A good service, cambelt waterpump change, tyres (got alloys with good tyres) and probably a bit of bodywork. Its gonna cost money and time, both of which arent exactly very easy to come by right now. Its time will come though.
E909 XFM hasn't been taxed since 2010
The vehicle details for E909 XFM are:
Date of Liability: 30 11 2010
Date of First Registration: 28 08 1987
Year of Manufacture: 1987
Cylinder Capacity (cc): 2494cc
CO2 Emissions: Not Available
Fuel Type: PETROL
Export Marker: N
Vehicle Status: Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour: MULTI-COLOUR
Vehicle Type Approval: Not Available
This is exactly why its important to preserve these early cars.

Re: Today I have been mostly Silver
Hmm, I sold it in September 2010. It wasn't in the best of order and overheated regularly. At that time I had other priorities and had to downsize - life took over. Sadly even I can't save em all!
Still, I've got the 88 E reg 827 to be getting on with now...

Re: Today I have been mostly Silver
According to howmanyleft.co.uk the figures for 1986 cars currently stand at :
Taxed - 1 Sterling and 1 825.
SORN - 1 Sterling and 2 825's
That makes Rebecca the last one standing, and probably the earliest car in the country.
