One less E65 B7 in UK

Post by Norrie » Thu Jan 11, 2024 9:19 pm

I understand that the imported B7 (ie not one of the original eleven for UK) owned by Matt Bavaria aka Matt Swanborough has been sold and is being taken by the new owner to Spain as he wanted a left hand drive. That probably means it was a European car as opposed to one imported from Japan.

Oh, you thought I had written mine off! No, its tucked away in the garage until further notice. Although with an agreed value if sadly it was written off I would not be financially disadvantaged. I am very busy running a full time business and have less time to using it save for a few events and shows a year.
