30 years since I bought my first brand new car...

Sadly SRG 860Y is no longer on the road, it was taken off the road before I was born!

Not been registered in 18 years! Shame really, love those mk3's
ETA: Beaten to it
Although come to think was that before SORN was introduced? IE is there a tiny chance it's languishing in a garage or barn somewhere?
Never quite sure on how it works on cars that are long-term unlicensed but still exist physically.

Never quite sure on how it works on cars that are long-term unlicensed but still exist physically.Extras in those days on Golf GTI's and XR3's etc would be things like electric windows, metallic paint, central locking, alloys etc. Perhaps 8-10 items that would all be standard today on the most basic of cars.
I bet there'll be twenty or more options on a new Golf GTI. I think it's where a lot of the money is made these days.

That's whats considered to be a barn find isn't it? So there is a slight chance that the car is under a lot of dust locked away in a garage (thats been forgotten about). Never quite sure on how it works on cars that are long-term unlicensed but still exist physically.

My first car was a Fiesta XR2 bought new in 1986. Four optional extras were available and I had them all - Mercury Grey metallic paint, alloy wheels, tinted glass and a glass tilt or remove sunroof. No lecky windows, no central locking etc, etc. I also had the supplying dealer fit a set of rectangular fog lights under the bumper to compliment the standard driving lights above the bumper. Ahhh, the luxury! I bet there'll be twenty or more options on a new Golf GTI. I think it's where a lot of the money is made these days.

It most probably ended its life stolen and burnt out prematurely back in the 90's, I think that's what happened to 90% of them.
I would take the rotor arm out of mine every time I parked up, but it didn't stop my Xr3 getting the locks slid hammered.
I also had an another couple of xr2's and both had been broken into sometime during there life.
The funny thing is the Gti's I owned never seemed to suffer the same fate, so I guess the ford was more desirable.
