Not 100% sure but that could have been Matt Haywards car the guy that start clubg40, as far as I know, I remember his was a WND, a fair few of them where and his is one of the ones there in black.

[GAF2]

i think this is the one, i have been looking through the history file i have and there are recepits with Mr M Haywards written on them. nice to learn a bit of history about your car aswel.

cheers grant.

What happened to Millo ?

usual Steve P , Paul B, Liam, Richie, Ray Digby, Adrian Ford

Paul B sold his bits after his car was crashed into and is now building a RWD VR6 mk3 golf with his new mrs

Mark Hunter still lurks, as does Karl, JBM, and a few others.

i bought Paul Bs Engine set up and it lives on in my squareback

Mark still has his T40 space frame job, but sold his white GT and Red G a while back.

was yours the aqua green coloured one ? I think it was. I was picking up a white rear hatch door for my white one I think. never used it in the end
what one did i come down in the white one or the red one.
whats cocochanel mean ?
yes some are loud and make a noise you forgot when driving and how loud they are.
why is yours in bits for ?

Yup, Montana Green
You came down in the White one with white bumpers and white grille, very 80's and Coco Chanel styled!

Mine had a clutch problem over 2 years ago so naturally decided to fully strip it and rebuild it from the ground up!

Problem is now I have to rebuild it!

[DMWG40]

Good luck with that then...

[DMWG40]

when you think it will be back on the road ?

J407BYD 1997-2001

I bought J407BYD off you.  Loved that car, much love and no expense spared on it.  Sold it to a lad in Guernsey, late 2004, I assume its still over there.

That would have been me then it's still around....well it's in a shed in pieces, I sold it about 5 years ago and i'm in the process this week of buying it back and restoring it to it's former glory!

Some bloke owned a Capri Green G40 on Guernsey, forgot his name now. Saw it a couple of times when I was there in the summer a few years back now.

I wonder how many of those cars are still going ten years on...

K204 DNV is now green of course and has the plate G40 LO.
I think my Genesis is dead in a garage down south somewhere...
The 3 Mk.2's are all dead...


*Edit*

It would appear that most of them aren't on the road. Some are sorned, some have been untaxed as late as last year... Grim
And my old Genesis is taxed

How did you find taht info out the dvla page ?

Yeah, the dvla page.

And just to update, I have now had my Genesis back for the last 8 months after an 11 year absence, still soldiering on, it's 4th PY block currently under the bonnet, hahaha....

love the pictures, shame they dont have the number plates on them though i owned L429TBD G40 tornado red from december 2010-feb 2011 was a very bad mistake selling it as it was rolled december last year, many of your probably saw it on ebay, but bought a couple of weeks ago from near hull L425 AHP also in G40 tornado red, does any one know history of these cars?? and the one i have now is a june 1994 this must be one of very last?? i dont know wot month they finished making them either? also interested in how many were made in red on a L reg does neone know??

[DMWG40]

Not all L reg ones where made in that year 94. they where just cars that had not been registered mostly, if i remember rightly.
there is a way to tell from the VIN number.
no doubt someone else will be along to say

[86C]

Anything with an M chassis number will be from the first batch made.(i.e. WVWZZZ80ZMY123456)
Stuff after that was generally built to order.

[ashmang40]

my chassis number us wvwzzz80zry033798 does anyone know when the car was made its registard on a L

[86C]

At a rough guess, sometime very late on in 1993 with that number.
