Having your number plate on show wouldn't allow someone to work out where you were. More likely is they read a street sign in the back ground and worked it out that way.
Nevertheless, a 440 turbo looks like a right hoot. Although it doesn't look like the Italian sports car is giving it much beans.

i think that wing has been resprayed in the past and hasnt faded the same as the rest of the car.
The car is as clean as it can get in those pics, treated to :- going over whole car with rubbing compound, then auto glym paint restorer, and finaly polished twice with auto glym super resin.

In my current 480 I find it worth the money to have the arches repaired. In the above 440 not. That was because it was the most basic edition without any luxury except powersteering and it had the B18U engine. Next to that, also all the four doors needed welding or replacing. I agree that if you have a well equiped and maintained 440 with only the arches gone, it is worth the repair.
hence, as of next week im enrolled on a basic welding course at my local college, so that i can get the body work sorted. just need to find some one who can do a respray at a decent cost.

i would love to know what kind of welder to use.my arches are crapped out at the bottoms.i have a stick welder but these things are better for cutting car metal.also used to own a cheap mig but wouldnt risk it.maybe it was just a crap welder.only one feed wheel which would slip.
Ill be learning on a mig welder, but have the use of the one at work (ill be the only welder for the company).
Im quite suprised that no one has yet commented on the front splitter on the car. must of done a dam good job fitting it if no-one notices it!!

It's not a volvo spliter, the 440 never got given one, so with a bit of research i found out the splitter from a renault laguna was a near perfect fit. And it works, keeps the front end down a bit better, the stearing was very light at motorway speeds, now it's perfect!
