Back Again !!

[scootlife]

Back again with another MK1. Sold my Le Mans green Mexico rep back at the end of 2017, have missed it ever since, had a MK2 1600 Sport with a spanker of an engine in it but now back and the proud owner of a genuine AVO 1973 RS2000. Would love to know if anyone has any previous history or information about it.

Nice motor, the ‘PB’ on the number plate would suggest that it was registered in Portsmouth.

Very very nice.

Do get up more photos and spec when you can please

Lovely MK1, best colour.

Welcome back, and congrats on the RS2000. Always nice to see an AVO one, and they're getting harder to find in decent shape. Nige's point about the PB plate is a good starting place, since that gives you a registration area to work from.

For history, I'd get your V5C details checked and have a look at the Mk1 RS Owners Club. They keep records on a lot of the AVO cars, and a chassis number check with them can sometimes turn up the original build info or previous owners. Any old MOTs, receipts or paperwork in the car are worth keeping hold of too, as they can help trace its past.

Would be good to see a few more shots of the engine bay and interior when you get a chance.

Currently seeing a speech therapist since my stroke and I was told there were three types of Australian speech. The exaggerated drawl (Bogun) Average street speech and acedemic etiquette speech. (Posh) Guess what I am LOL , In future you may address me as sir! Actually when I was first in hospital with a slurry voice the nurse asked me if I was Irish?

As a former penal colony that you yourselves founded I must say stripes never go out of fashion!
