Blue 16v N Reg being trailered

Spotted on back of trailer going through A3 Hindhead tunnel, hopefully to be rescued rather than broken. Anybody of here?

Recently went up for sale when owner threatened to scrap it ...

Good, so a rescue then

Was that the one on eBay, between Winchester and basingstoke..? Went for about 480 quid I think. 16v n/a sat for 5/6 years 81000 miles...looked good though and was running I believe

Got to see the car I bought with Joe for the first time this weekend - looking good! It'll be at the NEC in a week or so... having a little gentle fettling applied.

Looking forward to seeing it at the NEC then! Much to do or in overall decent condition?

Tidying, mostly. Joe knows more detail than I do.

Two Blitz Blue 16vna owners in the same town now

One has to love Blitz Blue!

No doubt the 16v / 16vt are the true classics and that's where the interest will be in the future with a direct link to the famous Lampredi engine, more balanced drive than the nose heavy 20v's. Bit like the MX5 - the Mk1's regarded as classic but not later developments. Similar can be said for the 20v / 20vt's - not that I'm biased or anything....

But spot on, all the same

It looks like both my black 16na and the yellow one I half own with Joe will be at the NEC; in the 'high mile' section and the coupe owner's club section respectively.

So what with these two plus the blue coop that will be three on show at the NEC? If they are all on the road then that's c 6% of the UK's total of 16v na's under one roof...
