  • Last pic - I can only add 5 per post. Bizarrely the DVLA have it as a December 88 registration - either a typo or it should be on an F plate.

      • They were two years ago, remember! If it's been used daily and not looked after very well 2 years is a long time.

                Possibly used abroad (Channel Islands or Isle of Man) for first few months of its life then given an age-related plate when it was registered by the DVLA for the first time.

                My Mini 1275 GT is a 1980 car, but was registered here in 1984 on a 1980/81 'W' plate: its first owner was in the Forces, and it was originally running round on Forces plates (I sent my fiver to DVLA and got its history printed off )

                • White MG Maestro Turbo spotted driving in the Coventry area today; personal plate H*********TH

                  In fact, today has been a good day for spotting classics around Coventry: must be this fantastic weather we've had for the last couple of days in Central England!

                  • I guess the registration issue is down to it first being used in Norway perhaps? Going to nip and see him tomorrow and see what deal I can sort out.

                          • Off to look more closely at the VP estate at the weekend. He gave me an idea of what he's after for it (with 3 months t&t remaining), and without giving away the price all I shall say is that I could buy two things worth £100 each for the same as what he wants for the Monty!

                              • who was it??

                                saw a austin maestro vp in white on the M1 between jnc 14 and 15 heading north about 17:15 this evening. Was a D plate in white with the flat faced alloy wheels. little bit of rust about but a nice car.
                                I was happy to see something other than boring cloned german saloons.
