If you haven't already done this, then bung the reg number in on here to see if it is marked as exported or not.
Get vehicle information from DVLA
Check a vehicle's details, tax and SORN status and expiry dates on the Driver Vehicle and Licensing Agency (DVLA) database - online and telephone enquiries
I'll probably not be back on the air for just over a week unless there is decent Wifi where we will be staying!

Okay, I've one possible option I'm following up on. How accessable is the 101? It's a Lisbon based classic Landrover outfit.

Do you have any idea at all about price? My French neighbour is extremely interested. I'll pm you his email adress. But his English is basic. I'm perfectly happy to be included in the pm convo to translate if necessary.
That would be great …I’m just getting over a particularly nasty bout of the flu, hence my silence.
I think £15k good price …I’ve looked around internet. I think fair price.

So does this mean that it no longer runs or can be started?
This is a massive shame. They made so few.
Have you contacted Alain with this price?
As I said I don’t know much about the situation regarding the 101. I spoke (by email) to Shippers/Rob maybe twice in 20 years but I’ve been in touch with Barry recently who informs me that it’s been sitting for couple years now. I have been told it was road legal, passing very strict Portuguese inspections .
He didn’t complete matriculation, something to do with Customs, so it was parked up.
I haven’t contacted your friend. I sent many pictures with no response.

He told me that he thought the price was on the high side. Don't forget he doesn't speak/write English, which, you will remember, is why I offered to help with communication.
I think he may have moved on to other projects in the meantime. If he wanted to ask questions he'd have asked me to ask them. Sorry and all that.
But I'll pass on the £10k and "spares or repair" thing, along with what you just said, and then I'll step back.
Best of luck, mate.
