Pretty much Gez! :mrgreen:

jerzybondov wrote:Only puzzle left - just how early is your car if it was VINless? One of the early black cars perhaps with 'scrap' panels fitted for promotional purposes?

Yep! That's the only mystery now. I'm not really clued up on the early cars, which is why I could benefit from someone with more information and knowledge on these. It sounds like this car was sent out to the UK possibly before the cars went on general sale. From what I understand, no cars went out of the country to start with, not even for promotion... :?


So then, your car isn't a Middle Eastern Car, it's a:

ORIGINAL LEFT HAND DRIVE UK MAINLAND PROTOTYPE PROMOTIONAL CAR

I estimate the car now to be £40k for it's exclusivity.........

:D



Lol !!

I may have move this thread into a new section called Vin unknown!
And just have the pics and a vin plate!

And you've got Volvo gear too Carl? So it's hardly just a swapped VIN plate I reckon....

I don't think he does have Volvo? Does he? Carl can you check your engine number?

I think Carl may have to enter the RR, competition with two entries!

Not quite a Volvo engine, just some extra Volvo performance which Nick Birch added.
