Anyone know this car or dealer?

Were the side repeaters on the wing on a Rev3 Turbo?

some MOT testers say they are required, some don't notice, so it's a popular choice to stick some on

Then I'd find a new MOT tester.

Love it how, just because it has a UK front number plate holder and leather seats, it's assumed to be a crashed car/UK car with turbo engine. [d'oh!]

GT-S badge on the boot lid, import tobelerone indicators, import center dash trim. rev 3 turbo. he swapped out the crappy cloth seats for full leather and stuck a UK plate holder on the front bumper.

i think the problem is the holder, they usually come attached to a UK bumper, my tubby has a UK plate, no holder though, I can't understand why anyone would add the holder when a UK plate looks nicer without

A plate screwed to the bumper doesn't look half as tidy as a holder with plate.

Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1986 must be fitted with one side repeater indicator on each side

Number plate holders are cumbersome and ugly, looks far better without. your opinion obviously differs (and is wrong)

And imports do, the tobelerones. How can they fail an MOT with toblerones. As I say, I'd find a new MOT tester if he failed an MR2 on not having side repeaters when toblerone side indicators are fitted.

Screwing a numberplate straight to a bumper without the finishing trim looks like an afterthought imo.

I've never ever had a problem with the tobes and MOTs, I have read on here that other people have. I assume that with people put tside repeaters on, why else would you? the tobes are far nicer than side repeaters.

Toblerones and orange side repeaters are orange and horrible. Much nicer with UK blanking strips and Celica gen7 clear side reps. Again, imo.

to be fair I agree the orange colour is horrible, I'd really like clear ones, i think it was gazrev1tubby?? who made a set but never made any others

No assumptions, just pointing out things to check if looking at the car

I think the UK plate looks nicer than the import. Plus the jap plate stops air flow to the rad.[/quote]

The UK letterbox number plate means you do not qualify for motor cycle size letters and numbers, and have to display those massive ugly UK sizes. Plateholder looks best imo mounted vertically rigidifying against headwind.
Jap plate it could just deflect an oncoming rock!!

year of manufacture.....1992.

Damn well spotted I missed the 1 painted sill and rev2 side strips and no I was not kidding I thought it looked alright first glance for £2000, if it is in fact a rev3 turbo.

[jimGTS]

my spidey senses were correct then

aint no 1997!

it's a rev2 mate, year of registration is 1997. meaning it was imported (or registered) in 1997. however, quick check on the super handy tax/mot checker reveals it was manufactured in 1992.
