VIN 16583 - Now on the UK register

Postby dclsteve » Tue Apr 07, 2015 9:48 pm

Bought this last September from Sweden and its now on the road with its UK plates.
The history is, apparently, new to Saudi, then bought by someone in the Swedish Air Force who took it to Sweden, it then spent 10 years in an art museum then into the hands of a private owner before I secured it. None of the history can be verified though other than it has the 240km speedo and its an auto in black!

Welcome Steve - yours is quite unique indeed! So technically a Middle Eastern car but not one of "the" Middle Eastern Cars!: viewforum.php?f=103
I wonder how it got to Saudi?

Looks a great car, there is another car in Saudi which is in a scrapyard which is also a 16xxx vin.
There isn't any documentation on any vins sold to Saudi Arabia (yet)
As the revinning was carried out by consolidated at the factory it's likely they brokered the deal... All their vin information was destroyed in a fire.
