I don't have a pic of the plate so this may be a long shot, but i got the pic off here about three or four years ago. I do remember it was a B-reg and was a six-digit plate.

Anyone know if it still exists?

CODE

D220VPH
Ben Harrison:
Rugby. Midlands
Current state, off road long term but nearly ready for MOT
101k miles no history
standard as she left the factory (but not for long)

This car turned up on ebay a few weeks ago as a spares or repair. I contacted the owner and made him an offer and before I knew it she was on a trailer from Middlesex up to Rugby. I cannot reveal my plans just yet but rest assured you will be impressed. I originally planned to respray her however I never realised how rare comet blue was so decided to keep the original colour.

My car is a 1987 D reg and I was told that late mk2's were made in Spain with the tell tale signs of side repeaters and only 3 rocker cover bolts on the engine. Well mine has those however it clearly states that the car was made in West Germany. She's been off the road for over a year now however she fired up the other day but the rear box had rotted off so I have ordered a new one along with some service parts to get me by until I hit her with the modifying stick very hard.

updated mine.

whats the ride like?

whats the ride like?

Alot better than when it was sitting at about 90-100mm!! Haha.

Its stiff but the subframe adds to that.

When it was standard other than an 80/60 kit it was sweet

Yours is a bit of an oddball, rarest for sure.

The MK2 went through a massive change in 1986, almost every panel was changed, trim, everything technical from engines, suspension, steering, brakes.. Some cars right on the borderline hot a slight mix though. One thing that was dropped with the old model was Comet Blue paint option.

So yours is the newest comet blue car we know of in existence.

The Spanish cars came later, Spain started building them in 1989 I think. My '88 was 'made in W.Germany'.

This is now mine

D220VPH is my old Coupe S, I pulled it out of a driveway in Hillingdon in 2006 and got it back on the road, glad its still going!

hillingdon? no way! round the corner for me!

Yeah, was just off Long Lane, I used to live in Hayes.

I owned d220vph too. I bought it off mclovin back in september 14 now down south i belive, cornwall.

Never seen one of these in Cornwall, would love to spot it chugging around one day!

Mine was in Cornwall a couple of times in '14, from visiting family in Okehampton - when we go to the sea we hang out at Widemouth Bay just south of Bude, i went to Bude and Boscastle in it.

It's been off the road this year but i hope to take it back down there before the cold weather kicks in. It's got an ally block 1.4 in it now, hoping the shorter stroke will be more forgiving on the near-4hr journey than the old 1.6 was.

I was told recently it's now been painted badly in some gay colour. No idea how true that is
