CPA 816Y Silver S2

Mirrors on fenders, no headlight washers so perhaps an import?

Saw it pop up on Facebook recently. Not sure if it's known?

Yes, the Silver Savanna.....an import from Japan. (A grey import I suppose it was - though we only used the term years later when it became commonplace).

CPA was first spotted 2006 but not seen recently.

Series II sold this week at Brightwells
Wonder if the successful bidder factored in the extra 20% VAT and 10% buyers premium on the hammer price -

Ha....I can picture this car driving on a cobbled road and having to stop to pick up the bodykit.

The write up is brilliant with my fav.... "PS , I was told this car was done as a one of for the film " fast and furious " , but not used , of course I can not confirm this , an interesting bit of history none the less"

I can tell him what it's worth without looking at it...... F*** all.......................................... or if I wanted to be really charitable, 100 quid for the glass roof and 50 quid for the engine on the 5% chance that there might be a usable housing in there...... I couldn't even be bothered to strip the rest of the hideous looking crap off it looking for anything else of value. He must be Mr gullible if he believed that cobblers about the car being built for a film.... they'll be telling him the one about the 3 bears next. :roll:
