Rear lights?

I have just seen a lwb fronty on ebay Its on a W reg 2000 plate but it has the old style rear lights is this possible?

Not without vast body mods to the rear end it isn't...I doubt they are A series lights because there is nothing wrong with the standard type of rear lights on the B series..You got the ebay item link??

I hope this is how you post links :?:

Defo A series
As it's an Opel version, my money is that at some point it was owned by a British serviceman in Germany or similar, and the DVLA messed up on the registration. Either that or it was sat in a European dealers for ages.
Would need further investigation :!:

As above, its an A series. But they didnt make them in 2000, and the 2.5 was only produced from late 96 - 98.
So even if it has been lying around in the dealers, it shouldn't be registered as a 2000.

hi ya

thats an A serias, how that reg come about :?:

Total import...... :axe:

would say its an import as it comes up as May 03

Thats an odd one aint it..

i would ask a lot more questions, as dvla have no record of it

I, that it is. Its not the first one that i have seen like

Would appear some "A" series sat around dealers prior to registering - I have a genuine "T" reg 1999 registered "A" series which appears to have been made in 1997. All reg history is accounted for. David.

might have been part of a ministry of defence cancelled order & then sold on a later plate, ive seen a few on ebay in the past few years :wink:

Rare but it does happen.

If the car is a good'un then it doesnt really matter when it was registered so long as its legit. And to be honest I couldnt see someone trying to do a scam with such an obvious discrepancy, or maybe Im just too honest?

Mileage is reasonable, condition sounds alright. Maybe a tad over priced for its year (actual production 96' to 98') but then prices have been creeping up on frontera's the last year or so.

my only concern would be dvla having no record of the car, i even done text check, and got nothing

Not uncommon either.

My celica had no dvla record with the private plates. Yet they sent me a log book for it and a sorn reminder every year.
Come to think of it it wasnt listed in any motorfactors registration databases either but all came back hunky dory if I used the original license plate.

andi the tex check i used worked on it
can any 1 remember the big foot 1 that quite a few ppl mentioned on here it had 1 spotlight on the front that had the wronrg reg as well and that was the same colour
