The earliest is Model Year 94, so available from Aug 93. Any that were L reg are likely to have been test/press ones  :-\

Still see the occasional M reg ones around, usually TDs.

I had a G Reg. Carlton Estate a few years back - Midnight Blue metallic - which I loved but it had difficulty retaining its bodily fluids and various other problems, culminating in a blown head gasket, whereupon it was time for it to go to that great motorway in the sky!

Maybe just as well my local dealer has the reg for my 'S' plate on speed dial  :-[  It's always a pain though when they take on 'an apprentice', glad I have my trusty EPC so I can quote them the part numbers.

There's an 'M' plate and an 'R' plate around my way - think they're both 2L 16v, will need to take a closer look next time.

If you Elite an MV6, does that make it an MVee-leet?

Too much probably, the running part is the most important :y
