i'm pretty sure they've changed the tax rules for the older cars now so there the same price as the other classics, don't hold me to it though. sounds like a bargain though mate.

Mine was imported in jan 2008 and road tax is based on the age of the car, not the import date, so you should just pay what you would pay for a normal 2 litre of that age.

Probably was a PX into a garage and was too old for their forecourt so just sent it to auction, and get what ever they get. Most dealers do it now days.

Looks fairly tidy for the money; no stupid bolt-on tat barring the backbox, which is always a good sign.
I've seen alot worse for alot more money. Hell, I think I've seen ones with blown engines sell for more
