I'm not bothered about people seeing my plate because I don't see many people wanting to steal it! It's not a desirable car, it's not worth very much, it's not fast and it's flipping uncomfortable! They'd get half a mile down the road and ditch it :grin:

It was the thiefs car of choice in 1997. I was going to buy one brand new but the insurance then was £1200 per year in my area, and remember that's 1996 prices. By comparison I bought a 1.8 A3 instead and insured it for £300

quite easily i imagine with the cost of dealership repairs these days.

just 4 x wheels + tyres would be somewhere in the region of £2500 as they can charge full whack for them
