I am not a buyer Dave, just a little confused by this. Did you put the pics on the right advert?

A 52reg 1997 car, with US reversing lights and European fog lights. Is it an import and he managed to fool DVLA when he brought it in or something?

Whatever it is, it looks like it has been looked after. Very nice.

Is it manual or automatic?

I see that the dvla did their usual fine job of registering an import - a 1997 car on a September 2002 plate!

Something's not right - a "B pack" car from 1997? IIRC the B pack wasn't introduced until 1999. If it is a 1997 it might be carrying lots of options but I don't think it can have a HUD (a primary part of B pack spec') unless someone's fitted it as an aftermarket item.

Maybe the year of the car is wrong but an error of 5 years would be a big one to make by accident! I want to say it's a Euro car with US rear license surround but I'm not sure there were any 1997 Euro models and it's got no tow hooks - so leads to a US import that some clown's cut about to fit the lovely rear fogs. Very odd.

In fairness, the ad says 'b-pack seats', presumably meaning it's got sports seats, rather than the full 'B Pack', which I'm sure was a Euro only option pack anyway, even though the component RPOs were available, of course, on US cars. As you say, it looks like a US-spec car that has been made to look like a Euro car with the fugly rear fogs.
