Would love to know the whereabouts of this car. I owned it hit nearly nine years and made the mistake of selling it in 2003.

Believe it may have a C20XE in it now

It's not been taxed since 2009 mate. Might be bad news.

Doesn't show on mot history but also may be on a different plate now.

I use to have this car I bought it in 2002, had it on the road until 2007 where at this point I decided I wanted to go track car, and the shell was un-economic to repair as a solid track car, when I got it it had a lot of rot I had repaired, but it came back, and got worse over time, back in 2007 a gsi could still be bought for less then £1700 so unfortunately I didn't have a crystal ball to know not to scrap it, it basically would of needed new everything!
Entire front end, Inc turrets, and bulk head was rusting, front wings, sills were going , bits of floor, inner rear arches, out rear arches, rear panel, rear legs, the doors bonnet and boot were in brilliant condition though...

If it helps, I seriously regret that I scrapped it, if I knew now the value and little numbers I'd of kept it, as I truly did love the car very much...

Here's pictures from the day I bought it, I got it from novanutz in Chester, iirc I paid £1275 for it, got my dad to drive us the 2.5hr journey up, so couldn't really leave without it..

Then some more pictures of it during the years I had it (I'll leave the kitted ones out)
