Was wondering that... I remember when I worked at Ford, there was a guy had one that colour, that he'd owned from new and a blue one that was the daily driver/donee car.

Thing is, the tires might be budget, but at least they get you started, always upgrade in future, just do two at a time!

Is there anyway of finding out where this car was registered? I'm going to buy new number plates so I want to try and get some dealer plates made up for her.

Do you know where in the country it first came from? The 1st and 2nd of the last 3 letters of the reg tell where it was registered....

I do now google was my friend.
This registration was first registered during the period August 1990 to July 1991.
The registration was first registered in Chelmsford.

Snap! Same as me...
I was lucky, my handbook pack included the supplying dealer paperwork as Rates in Grays. I did have a dealer directory from late 80's / early 90's
The only thing to bear in mind is if it's had a plate change? My reg is currently 'VOX', (Coventry) but was first registered as 'BNO' (Chelmsford)

spigot rings arrived today, a week and a day from the wheels .
I hate bullshitters, the bloke said he was sending last Wednesday, Gave it til sat then contacted him again, then he said they will be with me by Monday.They never showed. So on Tuesday I messaged him again. He said if they don't arrive today he would resend them. The fool never posted them til 28th april
Rant over.
