Matt Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Found this fantastic 4-part documentary from 1990 about Policing the M25, some superb chod and a sad incident between a beige BX that rear ended brand new G-reg Cavalier (at 4:50) The BX was presumably repaired and lasted until 1998 as did the Cavalier which passed away in 2001 H885 GKF - MK2 Golf at 7:25 was changed from black to blue at some point and last MOT expired in January 2012. Only 67k miles at the last, clean, test.G974 XJD - 1990 Mercedes 500SL at 10:22 went on until 2006.E463 KEF - 1987 Mercedes van (Haddonstone Ltd) at 22:29 is on SORN. Copmany still exists and is still at The Horge House.YS 8459 - 1936 Lagonda at 9:17 had it's last MOT in December 2008 and the tax expired in April 2010. I can't find anything online about it. vonmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Braw, the G51 ESC wasn't a rallye though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yep you're right, just checked the reg of another and they are actually registered as a Rallye 4WD. I assumed because they were low volume they were just registered as GTi's. Edit: Just Googled the plate and this thread on VWVortex claims that this is the same car: And here it is with Rallye front end and G51 ESC: fiatdaft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
