I just like it!! Thought I'd have a go but the reserve will be far in excess of what it is worth anyway I guess....

I think I might have peeded him off a bit 'cos I sent him a message telling him that V153 JDU was a Nouveau Red 2.3 Ultima and so his can't have been the last one registered!! Also, the build date on this is 20 days before My Silver S reg and a full 40 days before my old Red S reg which had a build date of June 17th 1998 (now that must have been one of the last ones ever built!!)

How does one find ones build date?
Title: Re: V-Reg
Post by Baz on Feb 17th, 2006, 8:10pm
One imparts one's original registration number or ones VIN number and one enters it into a software program and it tells one!! Want to know?

S425 RPU
Title: Re: V-Reg
Post by Baz on Feb 17th, 2006, 11:17pm
Hey Highlander....mine was originally S184RPU!!

Mickey, yours is showing a build date of 25th August 1995. No colour shown but it says it has Raven Leather. There is of course the usual exhaustive list of extras; global closing, auto dim mirror etc. etc. YOF is a London reg too, I used to have a 1968 Corsair V4 UOY481F!

Highlander, yours has a build date of 4th June 1998. Belladonna paint with raven leather plus the extras which is quite a list including side airbags and reverse parking sensors; so a fully loaded model.

Post by Baz on Feb 17th, 2006, 11:18pm
LOC, are you sure that is the registration the car originally had? it doesn't show any details for yours. It may have had a private plate on before you bought it at some time and has been given another number

Baz

If you want to PM me the last 7 digits of the VIN, it will show up then and may even reveal the orginal reg!

Thanks buddy

Post by Baz on Feb 18th, 2006, 5:06pm
Danny,

Build date actually shows as the 21st December 1994. Quite how many Ford workers would be sober enough by then to build a car is open to debate. This later version (Jan 2006) gives a date as well as a month too!!
Title: Re: V-Reg
Post by Highlander on Feb 18th, 2006, 7:39pm
Is this a software thing and is it available?
Or has it been "aquired"?

}{ How good is that!  sunroof as well !

I guess its so you can open up all the windows before you get in on a hot roasting sumers day?

I love all these toys on my car, just wish it would'nt keep cutting out so that I use the dam thing >:(

Thanks for the info :)
Title: Re: V-Reg

Post by craig on Feb 20th, 2006, 7:24am

Nice one! I have a Supra that does that, the more toys the better I say, so whats the mod involve Baz?

Gone slightly off topic here me thinks!
Title: Re: V-Reg
Post by craig on Feb 20th, 2006, 1:56pm
think the link has been lost in 1 of the system crashes
:-/,basically exactly as baz says,you can open/close all the windows and sunroof with the remote ....
oh,and all the doors lock when you get to 20 MPH as well..... 8)

it consists of a black box of tricks that steve collister makes up for you (about £65.00),you then take about 2 hours fitting it (about 13 wires if iremember),then bingo,job done....... 8) 8)
