Import yes, IVA'd yes, cheap tax NO as the good old UK Gov use the VXR8 as their emissions guild lines for the GTS.

But then we can only laugh and point at him rather than him and the car, don't take that away from us!

Slightly off track. What's the difference of an E2 and an E3?

E2 is internally the same as an E1 but has different external features bumpers lights etc
E2 is with a totally updated interior and some other bits I assume tattoo of will explain as he has the E3

That's a nice car DRC72...... Welcome to the club.

We've never met..... but are cars have, lol

[ARAF]

Well done. That's a nice motor you have - and the E2s are even rarer than E3s here.

I thought James would've taken his plate off it before selling.

Indeed, I was just telling him to naff off with his money talk

In fact, Stiggy, this road fund licence of which you speak (in abbreviated terms), it was wound up in 1955 by the Miscellaneous Financial Provisions Act, you've been had mate!

The government will still want you to pay your Vehicle Excise Duty, that chap down the post office has just made off with your notes! Saddle up the big red chest wig on wheels and get after him!
