Hi Folks; New to the Forum after having lurked on the 2000 facebook fan page for a couple of weeks.
Exploring the register site,saw a car I knew well,on the members cars page belonging to an Alan Carter.
Did a bit to this car many years back,and nearly got it for myself after it was seemingly abandoned at the farmyard where I rented a workshop. Anyway,I just found a photo of it at the farm in 2005. After I applied for a logbook for the car,the owner appeared out of the woodwork; I arranged to have the bodywork done for him locally in Banbury,& sourced the alloys etc for it. Looks like he sold it to Alan in 2010,wondered if its still around 4 yrs later & been polished up a bit as I know the blue had faded..
Rgds, Andrew Newman.
PS,it was in amongst some varied company..!

Re: LBY740K
The "BY" in "LBY" indicates registered in Somerset, which makes sense. Probably registered days apart.

Re: LBY740K
From memory John, 'YB' was Somerset, not 'BY',

Re: LBY740K
