Thanks for the help guys! just after posting this i found out you could find out by the last 7 digits of your vin & like you's say it's an R53. Will say thanks to who ever bought this car from brand spanking new as they have spent a bomb on extras as it has full leather seats, heated, lots of fancy chrome bits, brushed aluminium dash & door panels...etc which actually gives it a rather nice finish...

thanks again guys

As above, it's an R53 - and a very nice one at that! Welcome to the forum.
