But, y'know, it's got the rare wooden floor option, so well worth the €15k start price...

This made me laugh. How the fuck are you supposed to stop when the brake failure light comes on.

Although I guess you could stick your feet through the floor Flintstone stylee.

The length of time it would take to get this pile of bean tins to run again you’d be 99% of the way to being a corpse so a brake failure may be a blessed relief.

What spares? £100 for a n/s/f wheel and side window!

[FakeConcern]

Not a car, a bike.

This isn't the Mega Pro as ridden by Pantani, but still would be worth £500 if in good condition, but the frame is scrap!

Thats covered in Japanese Knotweed. Which almost certainly has spread to wherever the car was moved (and many places en route). Highly irresponsible. Its a bloody menace. 

Also that guy presenting it is like Kevin McCloud from Grand Designs.

It’s still worth good money, An original 80” (accept for the hard top) no door handles and no indicators in the wings and possibly a cross flow 1.6 ?. looks like the passenger side trafficator may still be attached to the windscreen frame

Bit of a stretch to call it a 109".

I thought that was the Leigh Anglia that everyone knew about - but it's not

Shit the bed! The DVLA site does actually say date of liability 30/6/78! I thought their computerisation started in 1983. Or have they changed it now?

computerisation began on the 1st of October 1974  

any vehicle newly registered from that point onwards would be on the then New V5 scheme

existing vehicles had *until* 1983 to get themselves computerised, you used to be able to see this on older V5's where it would say for example "Number of Former keepers 2 since June 1975" as when a vehicle was computerised its keeper count was not transferred over from the buff logbook, so this was simply to say the keeper count does not extend before this date, and it may of had 100 keepers previously!

 

however at some point in time, the DVLA had an active policy of taking records which had not seen any activity since before 1983 and archiving them off the main system, so when an end user like you or me, looks them up they just produce no result, when this happened I dont know sadly,

for example lets say in 1970 you buy an MGB, then in 1975 you exchange its buff logbook for a V5 and get it computerised at your local DVLC office, then say in 1979 it comes off the road, today if someone was to look up its registration mark it would produce no result, appearing as if it never got computerised, when it very much did

 

however if you have such a vehicle and apply for its logbook and prove that the vehicle does indeed still exist, they will un-archive the record and set it back up on the main computer system  

which is what I suspect happened with the Anglia 

and again *any* vehicle which was registered on and after the 1st of October 1974 will have a record still with the DVLA today somewhere, be it on the main computer or in archival form  

even if it came off the road on the 2nd of October 1974

That looks so good and I’ve never seen one in that colour either in person or on the internet, do you still have it? Thanks for posting and do you mind if I share the pic on a Bianchi Bookface page?

That was the Fur Seal pic, I punted it on (too many bikes) but I'm certain I found an orange one somewhere on the net. It was originally the bluey green though. Nice bike, apart from the crack. 

I fell off it on Oxford St in front of a bus with my feet stuck in the (clipless) pedals. 

By all means share away, I may have some more

Sold for £4800 in the end. 😯
