Ringer?
Now what do I do about this? I've just found an E-BAY ad for an 'RS Turbo' that is wearing the plate of a proper Series 1 RS Turbo that I owned quite some years ago. I sold it and I think it was a mate of Keith Taylor that ended up having something to do with it. He told me the car had been scrapped but I've just seen this car wearing the plate. I know this is the registration of my car because I've got photos in my hand now. Unless of course it is the same car and it got saved from the crusher, but I am dubious.
And I see this car hasn't got any VIN plates.

I tell you what, it could be the same car but gone through a major change. When I had it it had white leather trim so I bet someone nicked that long ago. Keith Taylor definitely told me it had been scrapped though due to the amount of rust underneath, unless someone bought it off the scrapman maybe. This was about 8-9 years ago. Very strange.
That was my first Series 1 too. Time flies.
Just been looking through pics of all the cars I've had and all the mods I did to them. No wonder I've got no money now!
