I am delighted to say LY88 now belongs to me !!!!! Absolutely loving it......a slight change to my previous vehicle - a '97 Peugeot 306 D Turbo !!! Just about to carry out my first modification - new door pins..... .....only other problem currently - leaking driver's side window..... Who cares though.......every time I see it or drive it this car makes me smile !! Regards Tim Temple

Cheers, we needed more in the 60's. The 30's 40's and 80's are a bit light too Delia: "Lets be having you"

The owner of 74 just rang me, now done 25k on a 52 plate, looks like it may have a new owner soon. Asked him to log on and add his name to the list.

53 plate?

blimey, 2yrs "newer" than my 51 plate, I thought they were all 51/02? with maybe a few stragglers on 52.

[turboman]

Sorry, my typing, I meant 52 plate..

[Big G]

Not sure where the story of 360phil or palmer motorsport having LY73 came from. It has been with me for the last 13 months. I bought it with 5k and it has now done 35. Had a cracking year in her. Time has come for her to go though so I have agreed a deal on VXR 07 which I collect next Saturday. 73 will be on the market at Thurlby Motors in Lincolnshire within the week

[360phil]

Don't worry Big G, my VX was build number 0073, it was never a LY. I think there's been a bit of confusion. Wrightster, I hope you're looking after my old red VX (the best car I've ever owned)? As for Beanie saying my MGF is , you may be right, but at least I don't drive like a .

Bought LY03 from Renault Dunstable last Feb - they couldn't hide their excitement at getting their hands on my 2 year old 172. I was happy with the swap too!

Another 172/182 convert

There are a few of us.... I had a 172, 182, then my LY.

As turboman said, I've had 074 since new, but I'm going to have to go dark-side on an M3 as i need more space and 4 seats. Really enjoyed the car though. Hence it's for sale if anyone is interested........The advert is on pistonheads - I'd be willing to take a bit less for it to someone on here - tracker's optional, i can take it with me or someone can have it....

Best of luck with the sale Pete. Someone on here was looking for a LY a while back but I think they may have already bought something.
