The one I saw wasn't a j-plate, spoke to robin on Saturday! I rekon the one that's been spotted is most probably his, he will be driving everywhere for at least a few weeks I would have thought:laugh:

Ha ha from what I've heard he seems pretty happy with it! Getting back in a GTT after some of the cars he has had will be fun! First time I've not had a GTT in 7 years though!😢

I used to live in Nelson, Lancashire all my life till I moved to Leeds in 2006, and run my own business in Padiham, nr Burnley on bodywork repairs and respraying plus dealing with buy, sell or break hundreds of r5gtts way back in late 1990's/early 2000's before I sold the business.

I have heard a lot about r5gtt cab around in Blackburn and was trying to find out to buy it for myself but no success. Wonder if it is same one? Am told it's left-hooker EBS cab

The one here is a yellow convertible. Without a roof or frame. Although if your looking for one theres a red one for sale on here. :agree: its nice.

Ah.... Not the same car that was left hooker cab at Blackburn unit few years back.

I've seen yellow cab without roof hood, to be honest, it was too modified to return it to original cab with frame and hood cover missing. Yeah am keeping my eyes open on that red cab but missus won't let me buy it! Lol

I'm pretty sure the yellow one was done by a bloke called Alex. This thread might shed some light on it:
