This just popped up over on the blue forum, thought it worthy of a repost over here because it's bright yellow, plenty of storage greb (been in storage since 1987, apparently) and a profeshunal advert.

Forgot to put that in, so I've added it to the original post.

The plate reminds me of The Professionals Capri X-Pack:

That is nice, I wonder if that's the same one that was on autotrader for a while that i posted on here?

[Cavcraft]

Reg. no. looks very familiar (and not because of The Professionals) I wonder if it's an ex-demo/press car?

I had an absolute shitheap of an Escort 1600 Sport about 25 years ago that was SOO750R - it had been a Shellsport racer and later a rally car.

I doubt this was a press car 'cos Triumph were based in Coventry - they had Midlands plates. It looks lush tho - youv can't beat Inca yellow..

I was really hoping that wouldn't happen, this needs to be allowed to shine as the bright yellow shite it truly is, not end up with lots of poke and pretension. I say that as the owner of an hilariously pretentiously modified car myself.

Early TR7 on Essex plates, here's my two penneth....

BL used to register late prototypes or off-tool /off line pre-production cars with Essex plates, and Ford also returned the compliment by registering pre-production cars in Brum.

These cars would often be driven openly but unbadged on public roads for mileage accumulation and de-bugging purposes.

Although (shooting down own theory) are there not TR7's on P plates?
