Hello all. I have been a member of the DMC News for a few years now but only as an observor. At long last though that all changed on Saturday afternoon when I managed to purchase Vin 02493. Its is a July 81 model with black interior and 5 speed box. By Monday I had driven around 400 miles back home to Ireland with no problems at all, and a really great time driving my dream car. There are a few bits and pieces needing done to it but nothing that will stop me driving and enjoying her and more importantly going along to EUROFEST 2006 I would be really intrested in any history on this car as I would like to try and build up a more detailed profile on her to go with the paperwork I have already. The earliest registration I have for the car is to Kansas City (think this was the first registration of tyhe vehicle). The car then went to Belguim (approx 1990) before going to UK in 1999. Thanks again, Paul vin - at long last - 02493 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
