To answer a few questions the car is definately royal marine with leon green roof and upper doors on the interior.it has had substantial paint on left side which is peeling showing original colour, paint colour match was appalling so does not give true colour in photos.
it has 30,485 on the clock this owner is the third owner but did not actually register the car to himself as it had only a few days rego and then it was parked and left over 10yrs ago.opened the glove box ( can anyone tell us where the term glove box came from) and inside was its original owner handbook. it has one of the cleanest trims ive seen and also comes with the airchief radio non push button type still working according to owner when parked.
As for the black and white plates they were used right up to hd /hr here in S.A.
it does suffer from rust in most usual places but does have alot of potential.Have struck a deal with the owner for the vehicle but im going back with battery, petrol and a jack just to have my fifth look, and see if i can get her started.and then haggle some more.
The FB has alot of bad rust from what i can see and is not for sale, i did ask.
revised numbers are:
FE 225 4457M
trim 240-545
paint 253-742
RPO 253-7472
eng. no. L518815
chassis no. 7 23950 M
