Maybe just a private plate? But I get what you mean

Saw it parked up but something was not right.

So had a closer look.

No opening vents.
High dashboard with those vents.
The bonnet. But they do get retro fitted.

So was not a W reg originally, but a newer one.

I said to my wife a genuine W reg would be much nicer.

Or could be new parts to an older vehicle, doesn't mean the rest of the vehicle isn't original. BTW didn't some of the latter NAS specs not have the opening vents?

You ought to be careful snooping about people's Landies. I had mine broken into a few months ago and so I'm very suspicious of anyone I see snooping about. The cops caught the little toerag that stole my stuff and I've just had a letter from the court saying they've given him a curfew and £145 costs! I lost about 600 quids worth of stuff yet I get nothing and the little **** is walking free to do it again. My point is that it might be dangerous snooping about if the owner is at the same level of ****ed offness that I currently am.
