Title: Interesting Trojan?
Post by: milnes on April 26, 2014, 09:37:15 am: A Trojan for sale on E-bay with an interesting past. Is this tone paintwork an original spec?

But then as an age related series there are a lot of them about! There is a tendency to lift plates prior to export, for sure. Personally I think we have a daft system where you can sell a cars history but its a product of the State renting registrations and not providing a system to monitor ownership. They would not be needing all the club agencies to tell them what is going on then. Indeed in one way RUM would not be needed, though the more enlightened part probably would still have come to light in some form. Indeed did that not come first, I forget.

Chassis number in catalogue is 8156
I presume I have the right car as it shown as sold at £18400

That might be right:

£18,400 bid price
£02,760 commission, at 15%
£00,483 VAT on the commission (at 17.5% in 1997)

£21,643
