Sorry no part exchange as the objective of this sale listing is to reduce the size of my classic collection here.
* If any prospective buyer wishes to save money by having a non transferable age related registration mark issued by DVLA then I am happy to consider appropriately reduced offers excluding the LOC 666 registration as I can use this on another vehicle in my collection though it would be nice to keep it with the RKS.
