- Looks like what you have there is possibly a Deep Pink Mk II Sprite. (Quite rare if you can deal with driving a pink car.) What does it say on the title? It should indicate the year as something lik

- I wouldn't necessarily be concerned, but the info on the title doesn't match the car. Someone along the way obviously attached a bugeye VIN plate to the car and used the title from car the VIN plate
