Thanks for the input folks, I'll let you know what I find when i get a chance to have a look, probably next weekend when I get back home.

The history of what/how it happened is just what I have been told by the guy I'm getting the car from, but I know him well and he has known the car for at least a while so thats all I can say already posted above. Not overly bothered as I bought it like this so it's no big deal.

Bob, strangely enough I've been missing that last white rwd saph I had, last week I was bored and thought I'd look for another one, I happened to mention it to my mate on text and he immediately sent me a photo of a saph in his garage and said "Will this do?", the deal was done like that, so I havent' even seen it yet....

All I know is it's an E plate white saph, hasn't been on the road since 99/00!!!
