2008 454 brab?
« on: April 13, 2016, 08:25:24 PM »
on ebay, there is 44 brab for sale with an 08 plate on. I questioned this with the seller, he said it was the last one in the uk. Am i right in thinking this is dodgy??

Looks like between 2007 - 2008, 11 were registered so it could be so.

Hmm, it may have been registered as a 2008 car but it most certainly isn't a 2008 built car.  ;)

Absolutely correct there Brabs.....
I've forgotten exactly how, but I know it is possible to find the actual
date the car was manufactured/produced from the VIN number.
But....like many others, I'm guessing that it was built late 2006 and
then it sat around in a showroom for a year or so before it was finally
sold (at a reduced price) to clear it from the dealers stock.
