I think the registration is OLT 598W or OLT 498W
I sold it in July 2008

Looking at the DVLA website, either it no longer exists or someone has it tucked away somewhere.

I looked at that site a few months ago after someone mentioned it here.

I hope its the latter. Stored away somewhere.

With all the brackets for the upgraded parts, 1600cc, 5 Speed 413 box, 410 Tcase, 410 axles, body lift, transmission tunnel mods it would take a serious roll, accident, fire to kill it. That leaves theft but it was too unique with LJC welded all over the chassis.
The winch mount, shackle reversal & part of the cross over steering were welded to the chassis so they weren't being swapped off it. Its too trick a chassis & shell to break.

I hope it resurfaces some day.

I think it may have gone down South.

If anyone sees it advertised please contact me
&
Let the seller know I am willing to swap a low white soft top & cut down frame for it along with several hundred quid on top for the red roof & frame on it.
If it's still in OK condition I might take the whole thing

Jeez that car was trick..... in its day.

Its was very uncomfortable too! I remember being repeatedly bounced from the seat to the roof one time at Woodlands.
