No idea. I'm out of the loop on that one. I do know that they're hoping to get rid of both in one go... and that the price would be negotiable.
If anyone is serious about buying them, I would PM a contact number for the owner.

suffering you say? well to be honest, haven't been in that yard since january. might see if its still there on wednesday. but if it is, that's not suffering.

MG Man · Postby **MG Man** » March 13th, 2012, 10:13 am

wagonrunner · Postby **wagonrunner** » March 13th, 2012, 11:26 am

Will see tomorrow if it still there, where I last saw it.
If it moved since, no clue / care as to current state.

You can re-register previously registered cars that were under the old system. In the olden day when cars had annual registrations, you could've lapsed. Rem seeing the 'P' stickers on cars?
