Default Seems a steal!

This lovely looking Cowley(?) car just popped up. It's at a company that seems to sell lots of cars that have expired mot. Guessing they buy them at auctions from dealers trade ins.

Mot history doesn't show any concerns and done less than 2k since its last one!

Someone save it.

Just been looking closely at the pictures. Was thinking it looks very similar to a launch spec but it's registered Nov '99. No sunroof but does have headlight was with halogen reflectors. No idea what the inside spec is as there aren't any interior pics sadly.

Same town as Ravinder, wonder if he's seen it.

I don't think I've seen this one before. If anyone is genuinely interested, I'll happily have a look for someone.

I've been trying to get the build data checker thingy to work but it just keeps saying the vin number is incorrect. Vin is showing as VIN (Chassis)SARRJZLKLYM140866
If anyone's better at it than me I'd be interested to know it's history.
(Got the vin from the Mercedes Benz warranty link I found on this site).
