That's four of us so far.
Mine is going for mot prep next week. Fingers crossed all is not too bad. Initial looks are positive to me.

Got plenty of six pot E30s, including another cab in black. The neon blue cab. is the wife's, and MPG takes precedence over BHP on that one.

Out of curiosity. The 150 of the blue and 50 of the green figure. Where did that come from? There seems to be loads of the blue ones still knocking about which makes me question these numbers.

I've seen a fair few in and around Leicester now

Cannot remember where I found it,Jim!

But given the amount of blue one's against the scarcity of green,with the reverse in Europe,it seems reasonable to me.

Some talk of a production run of 400,but that just does not make sense to me,whereas a run of 250 of each colour sounds more likely.

Yeah, those numbers seem a lot more likely. Would be great it someone was able to confirm it. As well as how many are actually left
