Hi Folks,
Haven't been on this site for quite a while, but need help urgently.
I am about to part with money in the purchase of a 1997 ( ? ) 2.0LPT CSE.
The car seems clean, is coming from a trusted source & I have seen the Log Book which quotes first reg of Jan 1997.
Trouble is, the car does not have a passenger air bag & from recollection may not have a drivers one either. To my mind that puts it very pre 1997....
There has been a bereavment in the vendors family and I am very reluctant to quiz him on the matter.
Any thoughts on a possible explanation ?

Thanks for all the feeback folks, but it seems my paranoia was taking over. There was indeed a drivers airbag fitted complete with SRS check function etc. This must have been a car sold without the optional passenger airbag. I must say that the standard 9K glove box offers useful storage even if its not much of a safety feature for an unrestrained front seat passenger. Anyway I've parted with the dosh and am looking forward to endless hours of informed correspondence & wit on this forum.
