KXI980 or KX1980

Anyone know this car?

On a FB post recently from someone who visited Ed, I noticed this NI registered (or at least plated) car in the background

Presumably KXI 980 but conceivably KX 1980 I suppose.

MOT check shows that it has been in the country since at least 2006, though interestingly there are two records - KX 1980 from 06-2011 (at 16194 miles) and then KXI 980 from 2012 (at 16204 miles)-2017

I think the fact that it appears on the https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/ site means that it was based "on the mainland" as I don't think NI registered (and MOT'd) cars are shown there ??

As the MOT expired in 2017 and it's at Ed's, I presume it is for sale

That car has been with Ed a while, he told me it was a doctor from Leeds that owned it. It turned out I had worked with the doctor in question a few months before I saw the car at Ed’s on an event but not seen him since! What are the chances of that!

So is it getting work done at Ed's or did the Leeds doctor sell it?

Apparently it is going back to the doctor in Leeds any day now but Ed has told me that before lol
