I've just bought this in to restore, it's a 1982  on an X plate   Chassis number  WDB 460 233 270 14271  280 Petrol 4 speed manual.

It's the earliest G I own, when was the first RHD G registered in the UK, I hope it's one of the oldest. 

I'm sure Gav wil know  ;-)

Yes Hus it's for stock, it's not as bad as it looks, the screen frame is good which makes a change,  It'll get the full fat restoration,  body, trim, engine box, 463 facelift (purists cry now) nice wheels etc etc

Re: Oldtimer

Something wrong there Gordon...

That chassis number does not come up?

The serial 014271 is a LHD Danish Cabrio

Is it 014771?  That is a UK spec Pine Green 280 LWB 1981
