Hi guys, I totally understand the problems that could arise from purchasing the car, so I'll try to forget about this particular example. It's down as an XR2 on the V5, so it's definitely incorrectly registered. I'm surprised that it's been driven around like this for all these years by its previous owners (of which it has had 11 of by the way).
Just out of curiosity, I inputted several different registration numbers of the model into the vehicle enquiry, and they were all correctly registered as a Quantum, so I assume this is an unusual case to come across. Steve, I live in Norwich but would be willing to look at cars within 100 miles or so. I think because of my age, it will need to have a sensible engine fitted also. The only other one that I've seen is a blue saloon currently on carandclassic, but it's not quite what I'm looking for. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! Once again, thank you for all of the responses so far :-) Ryan On Saturday, December 12, 2015 at 5:58:55 PM UTC, iDayno wrote: > > Hello all, > > This is my first time getting in touch with the owners club, so I hope I'm > asking in the right place! > > I would just like to quickly introduce myself.
