Autumn

[obcuz]

Probably last drive out and about this year and a couple of leafy pics before being tucked away for Winter.

 

[Mr Plums]

172 or 182?

Why would you tuck that away for winter?

No disrespect.

 

[danpaul]

I would say 182 looking at his profile and the rear pic. @MrTom
☺

 

[ed55j]

Nice motor, why dont you drive it in winter?

 

[Crybert]

As above, I'm also interested to know why you're putting it away..

 

[bashracing]

probably the same reason as me, whats the point of kicking the s**t out of it with road salt if you have several other cars that you don't plan on keeping long enough to rot on you.

 

[Mr Plums]

Private plate?

 

[bashracing]

twin exhaust

 

[Mr Plums]

182's were released in 04?

 

[danpaul]

Private plate?

I would say so mate @MrTom

 

[danpaul]

I did a reg check its a 2004 182 @MrTom. ☺

 

[Mr Plums]

Never seen a 53 plate 182 before, thats why I asked the question, I thought it would either be a freaky early 182 or a 172 with a 182 rear bumper, wheels and exhaust

Ditto

Just to clarify lads....
It's defo a 182, first registered in Feb 2004 on a 53 plate - I think most people/dealers waited till March and the 04 pate, but original owner intended to put it on his own personal plate and so for many years, but since our ownership have both reverted to original 53 plate and now the present personal but still 53 plate (if that makes any sense).

Yeah, I know, I'm always thinking I must use it more, the last twelve months only about 300 miles, so about £2 a mile, but still worth every penny.
Thanks for the interest

[Mr Plums]

How many miles has it done?

Its not going to be worth a million quid in 2020 you know?

 

[obcuz]

Hi MrTom
It's done a good many miles already, I think its on about 123k.
Like an old nag put out to grass I guess. (and yeah - I'll probably be next)

Ive seen an 07 plate 182 somewhere before, cant remember the story though.

 

[bashracing]

There's loads of dyslexics in the registration office at the DLVA.

That cant be right, maybe an 06 campus.

 

[Gus]

That cant be right, maybe an 06 campus.

It was something like the car was a UK car but was sent to the wrong renault garage abroad and was eventually brought back to the UK.

 

[Bluebeard]

That cant be right, maybe an 06 campus.

Why can't it be right?

 

[Mr Plums]

Why can't it be right?

Try find me one.

 

[Bluebeard]

Try find me one.

No.

If you have a read through the chaps progress thread all will become clear.

I really like what you're doing with the car, looks really tidy still.

 

[Bear Head]

There's an unregistered Brooklands Ford Capri still knocking about. It's trailered everywhere as it obviously isn't registered. Imagine registering it on a 16 plate lol.

No disrespect.

Sometimes things are worth more to people than just monetary value.

 

[SuperJ]

300 miles in a year, crikey. How many times have you driven it in that time?

 

[sprentice]

speaking of the number plates i saw a 197 the other day with a xx-54 plate, must have been personalised, but the exact same format as a normal plate haha, did a double take
