Not a fan of red ones, but it's always nice to see a rare car, especially if it has a story to go with it.

Those online HPI checks won't tell you much unless you pay for a full one or get someone to a proper one for free. My car is imported and bugger all comes up before 1998 unless I get a 'decent' HPI.

As said, check the plate on the slam panel, under the carpets and trim for any obvious signs that is used to be a different colour for example, or get a better HPI...
