    Yeah?

    I've seen an X reg one.

    It's because Fiat will have a huge number that didn't sell then sell them off.

    I have never seen anything newer then a V reg!

    Does that mean they may have made an X-reg GT??

    It also means you want to update the front of your webpage, it say 1994-1999 but a W is 2000 meaning that the front page is incorrect.

    They may have made the car in 1999 but a W-registered is the same as having an L-reg which may have been made in 1990. You are going from number plate to number plate, which means it needs ammending to 2000.

    They were manufactured until 1999.

    This only happens with Vans.

    Ok scrap what I was going to say, it goes into to much detail!!

    What a cool project, get an X-reg van, turn it into a GT and change the engine on the log book! You would have the only X-reg GT in the coutry

    Also happened with Escort vans IIRC. I think Escorts ended 2000 or something, but you see 02 vans. Don't quote me on the exact years, but it did happen with them too.
