6000 miles

Very nice

BUT

If such a low miler and obviously not used - why has it a wing aerial, door speakers and no radio ?

Has it been rebuilt or stored ?

Top car though

[RUDDY]

Used to be owned by John McLaughlin , went to Ireland a few years ago , have pictures of it at the first ever National Day at Donington Park. Don't think it is a rstored one , always been clean . I still want one !!!!

Just how many MKII's are still out there ?

Loverly to see such low milers out in the open

Just need Rud 1T to show its face on the 18th July

What a superb car a real credit to the owner, what sort of value would be put on an example like that these days? cheers Garth. :cat:

[M11RF]

Is RUD 1T still knocking about Dave?

[RS2000CUSTOM]

I beleive it is still under lock and key with original owner mr Hemant Patel

nice motor :flower:

[lee bishop]

bit of a waste sqirreling it away like that!! its ok if you had a few of them and you could keep one for best! id get pi$$ed of if i couldnt drive my car for fear of putting miles on it and getting it dirty. utter waste if you ask me, i'd be more impressed if it looked like that with 120,000 miles on it. i still havnt got my head round the fact that people enter new cars for concours competitions, just coz they have spent £500 on a pot of top polish that they have to keep in the fridge.....................berks!

It has been stored not restored, and is still owned by a lad from northern Ireland. He trailered it over on the ferry this morning.

wonder who t is as Ive never seen it over here yet ?

I know theres a fella near me with a brand new RS1800 and RS2000 RS200 1.6 sport Mexico and Harrier sitting on delivery miles in a dehumidifed shed

[Deepest Blue]

Have to agree with Ders - saw this car today & it was awesome!!! Owner was a top bloke too!

The radio had been removed for some reason Dave - the fitting bracket was still in place under the centre console - definately unrestored in my opinion.
Took my car today with 18'963 miles from new only to find it was the third lowest mileage mk2 there: DAJ - Gavin's Venetion Red base model showing 15K & this car with 6.5K! amazing :cyclopsani:

Seen this car a few times - very very nice.

History I believe is

Bought new by a guy who then went to the Falklands and unfortunately did not make it back. Car sat in garage for a long time with next to no mileage before being sold on.

Obviously doesn't get the pleasure out of what it was built for. Nice to see them but a total waste IMO.

[Judge_Fudge]

Amazing car, however I don't think i'd swap for my 116k miler. JNF's had a nice life and some interesting owners, the overall history of the car appeals to me more than something thats been locked away for years.

[Dermot]

It's owned by Laurence Doherty I think. Not sure if he's from N.I. or Donegal. Ireland being Ireland the most northerly point of the Island is technically in the "South".

I met him at a show in Cork as few years ago.

The Falklands story is correct.

I don't think it's ever driven. Personally I wouldn't enjoy trailering it about to shows, but the owner seems to and that works for him so fair enough.

The car is as near perfect as is possible I'd say.

[arron]

Well a big part of me would love to own a MKII in that condition but, as so many have said, I'd have to be driving it. I wonder just how good it feels to drive - being so low mileage and all.
