I really miss my Zaffy. Although mine was not as nice as this.

Ireland cannot be trusted.

Ulsterbus had a few second hand Van Hool bodied Leyland Tigers from Shearings. On disposal, these by and large lost their cherished plates. A167 MNE had been OXI 525, and was sold back to the UK where it became W386 HKL. It ended up back in Ireland, albeit the republic, as 00-KE-13862.

One time Leicester Tiger/Paramount A21 GBC (from memory) ended up on a 98-plate, and a couple of ex Army Derwent Tigers ended up on 97 and 98 plates. Another Derwent Tiger I can think of is a 1987 example now registered CU51 UCL.

Plenty ex Ministry Dennis Javelins ended up on 14-plates, despite being 2002 models with Plaxton Prima bodies.

Another which did the hope back and forth over the Irish Sea was one time Parks Plaxton Supreme Volvo B58 GGD 668T which looked very weird as G421 HCW.

Apparently the ZD30 engines in these are a bit of a weak point

This person needs to be made aware of this forum. In my village, the merc is a recent addition to the driveway. I'm hoping it's going to be saved. 

EDIT: it seems the Landy behind is FU*KED M8

Sorry for the naff photos but spotted these yesterday and needed to get a pic. 4051A005-55AC-46F7-ACA7-EE87F3DB5A3B.thumb.jpeg.8350fee3d53401cf7fb07861dbeeab7e.jpegD857F80D-ABEA-49D6-A6FC-53CA65A4AADC.thumb.jpeg.850a81b3e738f9bdc4092901791667c1.jpeg

Not too often you see a Type 4

Spotted by a family member yesterday in Dublin, a very tidy looking XR3. Left hand drive and with mystery plates - anyone able to identify where it might be from?

I’ve been meaning to take a pic of this for over a decade. I knew the spot (a38 on the run toward Bristol airport from m5) I’d passed by last in about 2011. It’s dissolved a bit more, but it was still there, now with a companion........

Wow! Ok! He actually bibbed me as I turned off (I was in my Mk1 Uno), & there was a purple TVR behind him as well.

Belgium, Finland, Hungary, Sweden, Latvia, Malta (RHD) and Cyprus (RHD) all use "XXX nnn" format plates, so could be any one of those. Possibly also Greece.

No record of it on DVLA, so may* not be from here...
