Old car search

Post by rs98gt »

Just wondered if any one knows of what became of R685XBT..?

It has never been MOT'd again since I sold it.
Is it wrapped in cotton wool, safe and sound, and saved for the future somewhere! I do hope so!

Thanks guys
I tried to add that information yesterday, but was having tech issues!

It is a black mk2 tin top rev5 GT turbo.

With the factory mirror tint "man in dandism" graphic on the rear window.

Went like a rocket :)

Shame it doesn't seem to have been enjoyed on the road in recent years. But I'm sure it's owner has loved it all the same for the last decade!
