Driving to work this morning on the M25 and spotted a blue 16v.... Nothing unusual i spose - other then the fact 16vs are slowing becoming a rarity on the roads these days (be that a good thing / bad thing
)Anyway - as i get closer i read the number plate which is H969 *** ?! Until today i thought the very first line of valvers were built on a J plate?
On closer inspection... i notice the car is a left hand drive. But yet has a set of UK plates! Followed him over the QE2 -> tolls thinking he may be saving something special under the bonnet for the trouble of importing a LHD and register it on UK plates. Entered the tolls side by side with my barrier up waiting for his to move up - and... lets just say it was a std 16v
tho he did try.So i take this means the UK was alittle slow on the take off for the 16v in comparison to other countries? Anyone ever seen an earlier 16v then a H REG!?
