The only reason I disposed of the car is was that it broke down on the motorway with an odd fault which stopped the engine running, it eventually turned out to be the EGR valve had disintegrated and the head of the valve had disappeared into the inlet manifold.
The bloke I sold the car to, who is a work colleague, intended to use the car after getting it running, but found it too low to the ground and difficult to get in and out of.
He sold the car on to someone who claimed to be an enthusiast who intended to keep the car, less than three weeks later he'd re-registered it and was asking £1800 for it on facebook, but didn't mention the marker against it.
If anyone wants any info on the car - including pictures of the vehicle just after the accident, please get in touch,

Strange that it is not registered with the plate on it. I would certainly give this a miss, regardless of it being advertised as being re-registered before sale. I have an aversion to such discrepancies.
