Vin 10455 - Burgundy Interior Factory Original

This car is in the UK and was last in Kent in storage with a whole host of other interesting cars.

The story is that the current owner knew the administrators who dealt with the closure of the factory, it is believed that the car was bought before the factory auction.

You will see the different rub strips and different side marker lenses, these are seen on some RHD in the UK.

Efforts are currently being made to take some more detailed photos, get the vin and more information on the story.

Special thanks to Dave Howarth for allowing reproduction of the pictures.

I remember driving Burgundy cars when I worked at the factory they were a few of them. I cant remember what month it was, but it was at a very busy period in the production of the car.
