saw it at a dealers in Chesham a couple of years ago, it was a nail, i was going to offer the fella 2 grand for it,,, i asked him what kind of money he wanted for it, he replies with, 'oh, its been valued at around 18k, i'll take an offer near that'

fooking jog on

its a built up police car, i didn't check, but someone told me it had now floor number either, as it was built up from parts using a new shell.

Why......one refers to the date of manufacture and one refers to the date of registration?

Does that mean it doesnt have the "vehicle declared new at date of registration" or whatever it is then?

Its not something i know a lot about.

I am willing to bet that Ford never built a one-off three door in 1991. The economics just don't add up for them to either retool a line that was scrapped when the Mk2 came along, or to put a team in a warehouse and hand build the car from parts. A dealership, enthusiast or bodyshop might have done that though, or it could be a reshelled sapphire into a new 3 door shell. My XR4i shell used the parts from a J reg XR4x4 and should get a J plate.

Or it might just be a late registered car. Remember that a car can be built and sold without being registered. Then, maybe years later, when you decide to put it on the road,you need to get it registered. The number plate is decided by the date of first registration.
