Found this Jalpa for sale on PH, based in the Netherlands.

It has some very desirable features, including:
  1. ABS
  2. 4 Airbags
  3. Auto transmission
Was there a different spec in Holland to RoW? rolleyes

AFAIK, WNG 999 was in the UK for most of its life!

When it was here, again afaik, it had been properly and often used and now appears to be in reasonable fettle according to these pictures.

Ack-cherally, somebody I know tried to get me to buy it back in '01 but I was a little deterred by having to pay extra at the time for the number plate which the then-owner didn't want separating from the car... tsk...

What's not to like tho' - seems a good spec. car with a good solid colour and good looking coalpit interior and no faffing with import duties and stuff as it's a UK spec. car that was in the UK up until a short while ago - maybe it's never left the airport in Holland since it got there?


also, as you see, the description includes the words


Above specifications are subject to change without prior notice


which may well mean the things that weren't usually there will, almost magicalisnesslyossityness, suddenly be changed without prior having been there at all...


What on earth were you doing on line at 5 am Simon???
