I'm pretty sure the 1991 NSX 3.0 is more than 207 bhp.....
... infact it is 270 bhp @ 7100 rpm, 210 lb-ft @ 5300 rpm

Pretty special car to get for only £750 then
You're right and it never has been explained properly. I think the DVLA ballsed something up. It also qualifies for the "normal" VED rate - £185.

Get the engine out and stick it in the Westie

Well spotted - I wonder if Cosworth were discounting the VTEC as nasp or maybe that's why they included the "sub 3 litre" part in thier statement.
Edit - aha - the Cosworth 24v was introduced in 1990 - so that statement may well still be correct

Hence why maybe they said 'sub 3 litre' with the Scorpio being a 2.9, a 3 litre NSX doesn't fit the criteria
I also quite like these, and was again surprised it was on a Y plate!
Remember one of my lecturers at uni mocking another lecturer for having some old mg that was always going wrong when he had hsi scorpio that was dirt cheap and pretty luxurious.

Not exactly a dream car but beats a corsa 
Whats the weight/power

Is that another Scorpio in your driveway?

Ludicrously good for £750
However - P6000's - why!? They are totally pants tyres
Why does the feeling for these go between either full blown hate or nothing but praise... but nothing in between?!
I dont see how anyone can say anything other than bad things about them. I am not a mentally fast driver, i press on, but i dont notice the difference between tyres normally.
But, every single time i have driven a car on P6000's in the wet i have noticed it sliding about everywhere - i am a total tyre n00b so if i notice that they are crap, then they must be really crap.

See i must admit, i have never experienced them, so i havent a clue to how they are
BUT again all i see is either really good or really bad, and for this reason alone i wouldnt touch them!
My S60 T5 came with P6000's on and they were a hateful pile of donkey excrement. The sidewalls were made of Blutack and they did their very best to disguise very single bit of feel of the road they could. In addition to this they provided little to no grip. Woeful tyres that car manufacturers fit to new cars. I can only assume that somebody at the manufacturers has a very long holiday and a swollen bank account based on the kick backs paid by Pirrelli.
I must also add that in the international ranking of "Oh my god it is so ugly it offends me" your car scores very very highly. That said as a former Fiat Coupe owner I fully appreciate that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and despite the fact that my wife is a 40 year old size 18 with saggy boobs and a cellulite covered arse I still think she is hot I see where you are coming from.

For the money Id imagine its a fiarly nice and comfortable place to spend time.... just as long as someone blindfolded me whenever I was outside of it and convinced me it wasnt that ugly...
There you go, middle ground enough?
