you need to create a 'image shack' or 'photobucket' account and upload them there first.

Very nice, looks like it could be a 220. The bodykit was standard on the 220 and the number plates show it is the right age (mine are QXN).

Nice pick up, got any more details like options, under bonnet pics etc?

Threads merged too.
