Its been on ebay for some time, reasonable price. Anyone enquired about it or see anything obvious?

It's an odd one - a fuel injected G plate Scala should have the tartan interior. Whereas a Scala with red seats should be a carb.

If I had the room I'd have it - if only because it doesn't (appear to) have a sunroof.

Not quite true. There are some cars made in the transition period which have the colour-coded interiors with fuel-injection, usually on an F-plate but sometimes seen on a G-plate, depending on how long they were loitering around at the dealership before being registered.

I think the price has dropped since it was first listed, but it seems reasonable at that price. It should have Avus alloys and the side strips are missing, but otherwise it seems ok.

I knew that about early G plate, i.e. 1989 - because there are a lot of G plate GTs as well.

This car is a June 1990 so is quite unusual. I expect the paint code will make it clearer - whether it's Paprika or Tornado Red (I can't tell from the pictures)

The price on the windscreen shows £2295 which is probably pushing it a bit, so a considerable drop which may make it worth a punt.

It looks like it has a bent front bumper?
May be it's just not put back on straight?
