dozeydustman Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 Taken from an episode of "The Sweeney" Number plate genuine. Morris 1800, checking registration plate it didn't even reach its first MoT in 1978 adw1977 and steveo3002 2
flat4alfa Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 Morris 1800, checking registration plate it didn't even reach its first MoT in 1978 It says on page 1 that it was taxed until 1984 So I rang the nice lady at the DVA and she confirmed this I think a grab of its sexy arse is worth doing as well
lesapandre Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 Just asking - I was out in Deptford today and saw a black Princess driving east towards Greenwich. Was it anyone off here? Bloke at the wheel - no other passengers in car. Looked great - I was one car in front in a dark green Citroen AX. Fairly warmed my cockles to see Harris Mann's finest mixing it with everyday traffic.

Was only looking at Vulgalour's pretty pictures, as I'm a simple soul and words baffle me. At least there's a picture for the record now. flat4alfa and Datsuncog 2
MorrisItalSLX Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 I was watching Keeping Up Appearances and this Princess hearse was featured. And while I'm here, I might as well put the Father Ted hearse in too. bunglebus, ProgRocker and vulgalour 3
500tops Posted January 20, 2019 Posted January 20, 2019 Not a fantastic pic I grant you, but it's the only one I've been able to find... My old Woodall Nicholson 2.2 - UCP 171X, used as a daily driver late 90s/early 00s (I think). Had an indicated 110 out of it on a private test track AKA Westbound A30 between Bodmin and Victoria.

dozeydustman Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Potatocam pic of EFX444Y spotted today in Chichester. It's been undergoing a rolling restoration as OSF wing and driver's door are both in grey primer. I'll try and get a better photo, and keep you up to speed as I see more silver being added to it.

vulgalour Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 Ah, I recognise that Ambassador. He's had it ages and I hadn't seen a recent picture of it. I think he updates on Facebook more than the club forum. Good to know it's out and about doing its thing. I'll have to double-check, but I think that's two more hearses unearthed for the records. Top work, folks
dozeydustman Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Last time I saw EFX444Y it had no grille, no front bumper but a newly fitted valance and OSF wing. And front number plate in windscreen. Noticed it has bonus Plaaaaahhhh as well.Sadly I'll be moving from this area of Chichester soon, but still working here.
Noel Tidybeard Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Corgi 'Vanguards' did LCC23 ...which is a bit of a red herring as LCC 23 is the model number in a range of chrome vanguards (Lledo Collesction Club)-LCC 34 being a scooby doo & LCC 10 a Triumphant 2000 etc
Dj_efk Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 Posting here as well as the eBay tat thread: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/e11011.m43.l1123/7?euid=62905051a11b49739d5956ab31e80ae8&bu=43165954005&loc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.sg%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F113658898792&sojTags=bu=bu UET 232S (a slippery smooth 2200 6 cylinder automatic) has just been listed on eBay for £600 / £750 BIN - it’s only 2 owners from new and looks pretty sound - worth saving for sure at that price! Save me from doing summat silly!!
flat4alfa Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 No BIN now that bids are on it. I reckon £900
Dj_efk Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Just popped up on eBay from very long-term slumber: 1977 1800HL in one of the browns (Reynard?) WGK 220R. Looks quite solid and could live again.
SiC Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 MPC389WMPC389W.jpg This one has come up For Sale. Doesn't seem too bad a price to me? Especially as it's MOT'd. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F153464019514 MorrisItalSLX, dozeydustman, Retr0naut and 3 others 6
Amishtat Posted June 9, 2019 Posted June 9, 2019 Poor photo but this was in a yard at Silver End, Essex in 1997. Thought it was a rarity even then. adw1977 and vulgalour 2
Skut Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Took this in Selkirk a few years back. It had been untaxed since 1990. I'll check if its still there next time i'm down. vulgalour and GrumpiusMaximus 2
quicksilver Posted June 16, 2019 Posted June 16, 2019 Met the new owner of MPC389W today, a fellow HubNutter from Northampton who said he's been trying to sign up here but didn't get the validation email. Anyone remember a 17 year old lad who turned up here a while ago having been given a Princess but not being able to insure it - this is that car.
Retr0naut Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 That's me, Retronaut . Still waiting for that email ? Here is the car at this years British Leyland show at Gaydon among some friends ? Datsuncog, GrumpiusMaximus, Asimo and 3 others 6
Retr0naut Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 A local wedge at the Earls Barton meet just over a week ago. Nice meeting the owner ? Amishtat, Shep Shepherd, eddyramrod and 2 others 5
flat4alfa Posted September 21, 2019 Posted September 21, 2019 Should be looking at this tomorrow It’s not on your list so I thought I’d mention it 1700HL. Am told one owner 78k. Taken for its first MOT for years in 2013, failed, so put back under its tarp in the lean-to LightBulbFun, Datsuncog, Amishtat and 8 others 11

Adrian_pt Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 RGU367R, I'll see if I have a photo, the one I posted has now gone. Belonged to a nutter in Rock Ferry who also had a completely rotten Mk 3 Cortina on his drive. It replaced an equally shagged Cortina. Now sadly gone though apparently on SORN. https://www.google.com/maps/@53.3669565,-3.0142148,3a,75y,256.23h,85.62t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sVVwRMArA_xd_k070sQa_KQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
Adrian_pt Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Also - the famed Italian Princess - https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C926788
vulgalour Posted October 2, 2019 Author Posted October 2, 2019 I don't remember wedges making Cortinas look that small. I'm going to try and make some time this weekend to update this, especially with the new stuff popping up. I'm amazed just how many cars keep appearing that still survive.
theshadow Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 my mother and her other arf sat in front of brown jobbie down in lake district ,few years back,will get copy of photo soon,
