Ok here we go lovely day to pick the RS up from down the road at Bishop Auckland car was on the trailer with no cover to let everyone see it chuffed to bits,

All of a sudden kid come up on the inside of our car as we were indicating to pull over into the inside lane, he shot forward and told us to drop our window, so i did, he said what you doin with the car, i said why, he replied do you want to sell it, i said just picked up, sorry, he must of followed us as he turned around at the next roundabout and headed back. On the road everyone looking at the iconic stature whooh

Anyway heres some pics from today! hope you like...... don't know were to start LOl

Car looks very straight. Shame that the outer wing's been butchered. Trim looks to be in excellent condition.

Should it be a cause for concern that the chassis id plate is missing?

Being a post 80 car the VIN plate will be the "fat" type which was fitted to the O/S/F inner wing and as the wing has been worked on it's rather a reason not to be concerned
