1st Gen Register .... another new chapter

[CarrieBee]

Hi there. It's been a long while since I checked in on the Forum and having looked through your register, I've spotted my car and can update you on it. It's currently listed as being in N. Ireland, having been transported out there in Feb 2020. This is my blue B981 SKR - I bought her via Ebay in July 2020 and had her brought back to North Devon from N Ireland. I inherited all the event badges and receipts from the previous Hertfordshire owner from 1997. However, sadly, as I am now driving her less and less, I am putting her up for sale as we all know how much they love to be driven.

Many thanks for logging on and for the update. I have thoroughly checked and your car was actually shown as currently being in the Yorkshire area, but the last update on location was back in 2010, so it must have moved to NI sometime after 2010? The last history entry for your car was that it was up for sale on ebay in 2012, with no update since.

I have updated the register with the info you have provided though, so thank you.

Sad to hear you will be selling, but I completely understand your view that these cars need to be driven. They do not like standing idle for any length of time!

Just to update this.

I am now the current owner of B981 SKR. Currently located in North Somerset.

Thanks,

[CarrieBee]

I am pleased she has come to you. I look forward to seeing her improve with age.

I've checked back and it seems you've been on the lookout for a suitable FB since 2016! I'm glad your quest has finally ended

Looking forward to hearing more about where you take her from here Sam, and seeing some photos too.

I have updated the register with the ownership chnage and new location

I started looking about 2 years after i sold my FC3S to buy a house, missed the rotary life.

Currently starting a deep clean, most of the interior is out being cleaned and cleaning up wiring etc. Fresh base to get started on

Hi Sam,
Glad to know the new owner is keen on the FB. I also a FB, believe it is same colour, saw the car at Re-Fuel Cullompton a few yrs ago. I am I believe the closest FB owner to you in S Devon.

Hi,

Looks as if you would be. I do hope to get down to Re:Fuel at some point once i've finished my cleaning spree. Not my first rotary i used to own a S5 T2 FC3S which i sold to buy a house and have been itching to get back into for a decade.

Hopefully see you down there one day!
