Car is listed as a 1995. Check the pics carefully, it has the facelift rear,including the no. plate recess, facelift front, later dash. and buttons under the mirrors!
Asked the seller a question thru ebay and the reply was.......oh its had a facelift??????????
Thats a lot of money spent to get it looking like a later model?........accident history.......who knows just doesnt sound right.

Also has 5 litre wheels, but doesn't have 5 litre engine. Why is the door a completely different shade to the rest? Looks like a complete bitsa to me, how convenient the paperwork has gone missing.

The body and interior are 97 at the earliest.
My car is nov 96 and that car has later parts.

It can't be a 95 car

Later rear
Later nose and bonnet
Serp motor
Mk2 dash and lower radio panel
Door buttons under mirror

The wheels though are no problem you could
Order a 4 ltr with 5 ltr wheels from the factory.

Something really doesn't add up.

Year of Manufacture 1984
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 4000cc
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type PETROL
Export Marker N

Vehicle Type Approval Not Available

The DVLA have been wrong before but there are far too many things saying run away! I don't think that plate even belongs to that car.
