Default Avoid Scrappy At All Costs

Well after a visit today to the scrap man to get bits for my 75 turbo, I find I am now an owner of another MG ZT Turbo. This means I now own 2 75's and 1 x ZT.

Anyway, I was trying to locate the chassis plate which is normally on the B-post, only to find nothing there?

I can only find this plate, I think this could be a monogramme car? It is in a stunning metallic light blue, I could not walk away from it tbh, what a crime to break, the paintwork is gleaming unfortunately the engine less so. so she is coming home with me.

As I said there is no plate on the N/S B-post, only the plate on the O/S B-post as in the photo.

Ohh I didn't disbelive you mate!!

Nice to see you saved her!!

Is there any sign of it ever being fitted holes marks etc ? That's the car ID plate isnt it? I know you can get chassis number from the top of the O/S strut mounting or even that horrid hard to read thing at the bottom of the front screen but im supprised it could get registered without the plate?? your more than enough in the know to sort trim and paint codes to I guess but for an avarage owner that's vital info when you need it!!

Do you reckon the "B" post might have been replaced?

Looking forward to the pics!!

Andy
