Hmm. Yeah. It's obviously needs 2 new wings to my eye.
But the chassis is near mint. It's got a nice back on it too.
Can someone give me the idiots guide to uploading photos ?

Thank you for finding that info for me!

Seen a lot longer fail sheets, doesn't sound that bad to be honest, there's lots more prescribed areas it could have failed on! Why not have a good look and poke underneath.

The original reg is V2RHE (That works in Etis)

You can get previous plates on here by putting in current reg, http://ukvehicle.com/
