That's an 80's reg too!
It's originally a Belfast number from early August 1989.
The reason I remember is that back then we had a Nova SR with reg PXI 1989.

YAY Glad to know even the plate is 80's too

Looks lovely! Maybe I'll see it around the midlands as I'm not too far away.

Update - finally got a new camera so got the chance to take a few pictures of the car with the repair work done, very pleased with the work, looks as new, also had rear valance restored too.

Hilarious original radio and driving gloves are hilarious.

What an immense car!!

What's the stats like on it?
0-60?

Can i possibly pass it off as 'practical and sensible'?

First of all thankyou all

0-60 is circa 7.5 secs, mpg obviously depends how you drive it, I drive mine hard and still get 20-25 I think!

Practical - 100% big boot, lots of room in front, back is big enough for adults on small journeys and yes I have had adults in the back Sensible - depends what you mean by sensible!

After much debating whether or not to sell this car as I added an MGBGT in December and this car has been off the road for a while (I was a student and now am just setting up my own business) I could not afford to have two cars on the road, I decided I could not bear to part with the car, planning to get it back on the road this summer, currently counting down time to "FIRE UP THA PORSCHAAAAAH!"

Bloody hell that is a sexy Porsche.

Thankyou Josh! People either seem to love or hate my car and I get about as many negative comments as I do positive ones ... sometimes I find myself looking on here to reassure myself that I'm not the only one in this world that likes the car!!

Recently I had my fondmetal centre caps stolen and have been in contact with fondmetal to try and get some new ones in this time I found out more about my wheels, they are a model 2600 fondmetal I am hoping this year to get them fully refurbished as they have started to corrode.

I love it, it just oozes cool. Everything about it is fantastic and the interior looks in very good condition. Brilliant!
