Hi All Just thought I’d introduce myself, i currently don’t own a MPS but hopefully by October i should be the proud owner of a 6MPS. I currently own a 52 plate CTR EP3 and have done for 4 years, but she's getting old now and I’m a little more mature these days and need a more suitable car. Anyways hello and I’ll post up some picks as soon as i buy my new motor.  Phil

Have you got a 6 lined up? If not you may have to do a fair bit of travelling to find a good one. There not exactly common. Don't forget that those registered before 23/03/06 are in a lower road tax band. Best of luck.

Yeah was going to ask about that, its there any difference between the pre 23/03/06 models and the later models, i mean is the later model a face-lift or something?

Same spec but each had option of sat nav, disc changer/hard drive head unit & parking sensors... One of the 55 plate ones be ideal but there ain't too many of them

Another ex-CTR owner ...
Looks like an MPS (both 3 and 6) is the natural progression from VTEC fun!
