I,ve been busy this afternoon going through loads of old club mags and went back 30 years and of course they are a wealth of information,in the older copies there was a few ads for facelift cars and pictures of them,but alot were converted to carbs,or spares or repairs,there was the odd nice example but not many...
A very interesting listing was that in 1991/1992 the mag listed the what version of 2000/2500 the members had and that made very interesting reading as it listed the facelift 2500 PI a t 22 saloons and 1 estate,this was in 1992 23 years ago,at the time it was the rarest version of any 2000/2500 model even rarer than a MK1 P.I which had 39 saloons and 8 estates!
I can,t really see the numbers have gone up in later years.
I,am under the belief that there no facelift PI estates existing,but of course i,am going to be proved wrong now i,ve said that...
As for saloons i,ve been told about a few that are either on SORN or no longer exist,mostly due to the fact they started to vanish at the first site of rain.
So with thanks to a few people who have helped out with a few regs i now have a list of know roadworthy examples and first date of registrations.
I would like to know the chassis numbers,but this could start getting abit close on security so i,am not asking that.
The total number i have is 6 including my car.
I might have another lead or two and i,am waiting for a couple of regs but i think they are both SORN.
Any more leads please let me know,i,am not trying to prove anything as such but dare i say that the facelift PI is the rarest version to exist still of a production model?
