On Friday at the NEC the original owner of my MK1 RS2000 visited the show with his son. They were looking over the car then realised it was their old car when they saw the registration. I spoke to them for about an hour. They told me some wonderful stories about the car & it's history. His son also learned to drive in it.
He told me the car was only ever used on weekends and was never driven above 70mph. The only modification he made to the car was to fit a full Janspeed manifold & system. He still has the original exhaust at home. The rear window sticker which I was going to replace, was his & his brothers garage and he was overwhelmed to see it still in place.
The registration is his initials which is pure coincidental. I let him look over the car and he confirmed everything is still there. It was wonderful to meet him & his son. I felt completely humbled.
