Wow didn't think these came in manual.

Not just the V6 either, I once drove a GTS V8 manual. It was very weird, not unpleasant and pretty quick but just felt wrrong and I found it hard to drive smoothly, which is a bit embarrassing when you’re supposed to be a professional chauffeur!

How much of a faff would importing a car from Sweden and registering it in the U.K.  be?

This is Norway. And do not think it is a big problem to take cars out of Norway is probably the import to another country that is perhaps more difficult? But I do not know as I have never done it.

Older than 10 years so only an MOT and a few forms away from being a UK reg car. Will need UK headlights (or a pair of these headlamp stickers) though.

That's the same colour as my first 99, although that was a 2-door.  SAP338R, bought from a chap in Cambridge.  I drove down to view it in an orange 928cc Talbot Sunbeam I'd just bought at auction for £10.  On the way back up the A11 I got out-accelerated away from one of the roundabouts by a builder in a DI Transit.

Happy days...

If you lookup 'is it taxed' 533KNX...

It was my IMP, overbored 930 at a shop and a set of 'scrapper' pistons+rods fitted from an old Sunbeam motor (the garage had hoiked the boat anchor 928 out and stuck a bigger CC in it). It made the Imp hop along a bit 😎

This is a rare beastie.

I had the Colt version years ago (same engine and gearbox) and it was the most ridiculously thirsty small car I've ever owned - I was getting about 25mpg out of it.

How much does that work out at in £s?

This will help you next time there is a car listed in no GBPs

You bank may have a slightly* different rate.
