Title: My 131 Sport JLA 71V

I finally got into the attic and hold of a load of old photos. I'll start with my 131 Sport. I bought it in October 1990 (Just turned 18) and sold it to a guy from Stoke in June 1991. I don't know what happened to it thereafter. This picture was taken outside my Dad's house (he is in the picture) in about March 1991.

Wish I'd kept it.....

Any Ideas of what happened to this car after I sold it in June 1991, or perhaps who owned it prior to me. I'd love to know. In some respects it was quite unique with it's Vinyl Roof ??? and Webasto Sunroof  :-\. The number plate may have been changed prior to me buying the car as there were some notes in the car relating to this as a DVLA Private Plate  :-[

I did enjoy the car although the body was starting to fail (door bottoms and boot lid) and I fancied something more refined for long journeys.

I always suspected that some tuning work had been carried out to the engine as it was significantly faster then many other Sports that I had driven / being a passenger in.

Very nice Rob.

I can see it had a fluted bonnet on her.
