Met Police sign in the rear floor, no coat of arms on the doors...? Did they have mobile video in those days...?

That's where I bought my P5B Coupe from.

Yes, I wasted 2 hrs last night browsing the for sale items.

The auction is live this weekend - I watched the last one - nice as they do drive the cars through. With no car shows to go to, I might watch again.

I watched the last but i did have a vested interest but unfortunately to no avail. Will probably be watching this weekend as no F1 to watch

Nowt much better than kicking tyres even if it is virtually!
