Where is this now Pete? It looks reasonably solid. Terry (Minty) broke a yellow one a few years ago, don't know if its the same one.
I've got a yellow trunk lid as well not sure which car that came from???

That i'm sure that one was owned by a fella who had 2

this one and a black one

he put them on ebay about 6 times for quite a lot of cash in 2002 2003

he had a full 440 8 3/4 and enough bits to build a race car and a complete charger. don't think he wanted to split hence few takers for 2 very big projects


i'm possibly wrong but i'm sure ive seen that photo before

Was it a VJ or a VH? I broke a yellow VJ in Birmingham a few years ago.

There were only 11 yellow VJ's to choose from.

This is the one that i aquired a few years ago (it was supposed to be on the road by now :roll: ), it is a VH and was origionaly blue, i bought it from a guy not far from Ipswich (the one that cut up a VH estate for the engine, which now resides in the aformentioned VH charger)

There was another VH estate then? The green one was actually a South African car by all accounts.
