Found it on eBay and went to view it last night. 1986 "C reg", 2.0L in Champagne with teddy-bear brown interior. AWESOME. Ł350 too.....it's going to be the 1st car for my girlfriend, and I bet the greatest ever. Sam

Do you live in Surrey then?? 'Cliff' because of the number plate!!! Exactly....because of the plate Here are some crappy pics from the eBay ad (no justice). Once I've given it a polish, I'll post some fresh ones. Early issues seem to be a oil leak from somewhere, a worn rear-offside shock, two bald rear tyres and a few minor patches of rust on the wings....otherwise pretty clean TBH
