Shouldn't be too difficult.
The area code will be what ever it is for Cirencester.
Then you need one extra digit at the beginning of the number you have there. Just do a bit of research and you may find what the number they added will be.
The numbers in the area I was in all had a 3 added to them. The rest stayed the same. So for example they went from 66193 to 363193. And that's how it is now.
Since that is also a land line number, you never know, the same people may live there or may have moved on and the new people on that number may know how to contact them. It's also not uncommon to take a land line number with them. So it is very possible that the number is still with the person who had that car back then.

in 2007 an integra type r became known on the Crx forum, as it was sitting in a private car park for ages unused, no mot or anything, apparently needing work, covered in green stuff. the bloke who noticed it asked about it, the owner actually said he would sell but the bloke couldn't afford it at the time and his wife said no. he put it up on the Crx forum to see if anyone was interested and got swamped by people wanting to buy it in order to break. since they are worth loads more in parts, as the parts drop in to most other Hondas of the same era, this meant loads got bought to be broken. I was the only person who asked (begged) who wanted to drive it and use it. I had to move fast and it was 200 miles away but I got it. fixed it up, took a month, been my daily driver ever since. its never been brilliant cosmetically but its an awesome car and been super reliable. I like to think its repaying me in reliability and good performance as I saved it from being broken up

Best thing I ever got from a car boot sale. Well for the return I got from it, it was probably this signed Cecil Aldin picture. Found in a box of picture frames. Sellers didn't seem to like it, so i could have it for £2 Sold a month later for £950 wow! I've had a fair few boot fair windfalls in the hundreds but not as much as that for a few quid. good show sir!

there is one that used to be really prolific on here years back. you may have seen it already but it was silver and looked perfect (for the car). I think the blokes user name was stuizz or something like that. ill try find a link to the build edit: ok, having done a search I found a pic of that cool silver one and what looks like the two cars you just bought in the same thread - forum.retro-rides.org/thread/147236/1975-toyota-supra-mitsubishi-sapporo

x2 I agree, there are a lot of poorly modded c90 chops out there, this one is on another level in execution and its an original idea which I haven't seen before. I wouldnt buy it as I don't need it but the work warrants the price.
keep in mind a c90 can't be bought for a tenner any more, you're lucky to get a usable one under £800

I don't get it, how big are these baby seats if you can't fit in the front?

I have somehow acquired 3 of these, so I am selling one with a 22mm former. Which is common for copper piping.
I'm putting it on here as it may be of use to someone building a kart or roll cage. In which case this would come in pretty handy!
You can get formers of all manner of sizes but I only have a spare 22mm to go with this.
It's a super solid bit of kit so weighs a fair bit.
I am in Brighton area so would need to be collected but I often drive around Sussex and Kent so could meet part way or drop off potentially.
£70 if you would like it.
I also am after a 20mm former and a 7/8" former should anyone have one. Would like to swap a 22mm former (as I seem to have loads of these) or can buy.

What he said^^^
Keep one retro daily, sell the rest and buy a house.
If you buy a bunch of cars instead you'll look back in twenty years and kick yourself.
House is more important and you can always buy cars later. Plus appreciation on a camper vs a house is barely anything at all

Adrian flux always seem to be good on stuff like this although their reputation these days isn't great...
Maybe try after September, your claim will have been five years + by that point and you won't need to declare it any longer.

I avoid it if I can, nightmare.
if you successfully fix it there seems to be this weird thing that happens, where anything that happens there after is your responsibility/fault.
I've had this fixing bikes for people. for instance my neighbour sent his employee to me, as he knew I was a bit handy with stuff. she came to me as her brakes on her bike stopped working, she left it outside in the rain and they seized.
I freed it all off and gave it some oil in the right places, told her to look after it and keep it indoors. she didn't pay me anything for this.
month later this rusty heap comes back, she said they stopped working again - "I think it was something you did to them"
I wanted to strangle her.
I have lots of these stories from helping people out and they do this. one makes my blood boil and I nearly walloped the bloke over it.
also at work, some people in my office seem to think I am able to diagnose a fault on their car and fix it in the car park with no tools and within a few mins...
