That's the very rare Birmingham 2002 tii on twin 40s. Only made for the Midlands market with the genuine Birmingham tii front lip and factory fitted individual trim.

A cat B vehicle can only be broken for spares, so you cannot use the shell as you will never be able to get a V5 for it or insure it

Just imagine it with a more discreet paint job, black or white maybe, id turn it into a track slag replica but would need a reshell first of course winkeye

I like it but i do have some council tendencies...i am close to birmingham after all :D

track toy or broken.

alas insurance and Lloyds are a rule to themselves with these things.

if its safe, straight and has a full mot it SHOULD be on the road.
its a bloody disgrace that a classic car has to be junked.

Its almost certainly a reshell already, hence the cat B. A bluey says the vin number on the logbook and on the chassis don't match up.

A previous owner has probably either crashed the original shell or junked it due to it being rotten, bought another from a scrappy, made one car out of two knackered ones & put his plates on it, without knowing the shell he bought was an insurance write off.
