You only had to declare SORN from a couple of years ago, so if laid up prior to then SORN is not required - back tax not required - phew.......

Hi all,

So sorry to see that WSP247T has most probably died..........and more still really.....I had a Venetian red RS2000 a few years ago....sold it around 2000......it's dead........had an RS Turbo, it got nicked.....it's dead also. What gives!!!

Anyway, here's some pics I just found including a brown MKII, my first car 20 years ago.....c/w a hot 1600 engine.

The white RS2000 was by far my most fav car.....and it was faster than the Turbo!
