Lear in this case is a different company to the one that made private jetsI’m sure I read that the 3L seat made by Lear or Boeing?

I will take it on a European Tour-I will find out about UK registration.Do you plan to UK register it Chris?
The guy I bought it from said they are 'export plates' ??Looks a good acquisition Chris. The number plates have the dealer's URL https://lrauto.de/ I see they are in Geretsried in the very south of Germany near the Austrian border. Maybe that's were is was originally sold; maybe not. How many km has it done?
Hm? I have only seen german export plates as per this link: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AusfuhrkennzeichenThe guy I bought it from said they are 'export plates' ??
40 years ago I imported a car from Denmark with export plates. I had to pay UK tax at Harwich and then after registering in the UK I then had to get the DK plates officially destroyed and a certificate of destruction which I then had to send back to Denmark. The only bug bear was the customs guy would not accept my DK insurance and I had to buy a day's insurance at the AA office.The guy I bought it from said they are 'export plates' ??
Its done 240,000 km-150,000 miles.Looks a good acquisition Chris. The number plates have the dealer's URL https://lrauto.de/ I see they are in Geretsried in the very south of Germany near the Austrian border. Maybe that's were is was originally sold; maybe not. How many km has it done?
As 'Joga' suggests, It's not on export plates.The guy I bought it from said they are 'export plates' ??
Yes, these are German domestic plates, not export plates, so it looks like it was just driven to the uk without officially importing / declaring it.As 'Joga' suggests, It's not on export plates.
True although trim different in 1,2 traditional 4 seaters (D3 v D4)It was only the rear bench that was unique to the 3L. That car also didn’t come with air con or power steering so very much the ‘extreme’ version.
The seats in all others and indeed the front seats in all 1.2’s are standard a2.
This car @Chris Warren has is a 1.2 rather than a 3L. Still a jolly rare beast. Nearly as rare as the wheel trims he’s after![]()
They are not large with 145/80R14sI don’t think we’d be able to get alloys or magnesium wheels into the Z4, if it actually makes the trip to Germany this week Chris![]()
