Low Horatio gearbox Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 While it looks shiny in the ad (a bit of a polish and some scuzzy cheap wheeltrims to make it look good) the mot fail sheet tells another story. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202102269508197 It's worth saving but 600 is a bit rich.

Fumbler Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 The owner's club would probably want most of the car's bits for spares. The interior looks lovely, shame about what's underneath it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian_pt Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Looks to be an original UK car. For some reason (am sure others can enlighten) lots of Euro and US cars imported from the 30s onwards had much shorter plates - ABC11, NUC9E etc. They crop up a bit in period photos and the odd survivor.

jakebullet Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 £2500: 1955 oval beetle chassis. Shortened 15-3/4” down to mk1 GP beach buggy length. Fits Manx etc With a bit of shuffling. Framehead is currently being replaced, chassis is otherwise solid but has no floor pans fitted, as I know people often prefer to do custom box framed ones. I Can fit some if you require. Comes with spring plates, torsion bars, complete handbrake setup and correct pre-55 pedal assembly (a £££ part!) but nothing else. Current V5 in my name, correctly registered stating Volkswagen convertible historic vehicle. Non-Transferable 6 digit plate. Open to swaps and trades. Swap for 4 empty beer cans? More metal in them than your beetle* adw1977, SteersWithThrottle, FakeConcern and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorter registrations were reserved for American cars so they could fit in the standard size characters in the smaller space for US plates. A good way of telling an original UK car from an import. barefoot, SteersWithThrottle, Dave_Q and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadworkUK Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Ah, man, that Duple Dominant brings back waves of nostalgia – back in '92ish, Partridge buses of Hadleigh looked after some contracts for my school, and on occasion their Dominant, with the same rear lights as that one, would park next to their early Duple Laser, and I'd play a sort of mental Spot The Difference game. I say mental, because there was NO WAY that I'd do that visibly or audibly in front of other pubescent "humans" at an Essex comprehensive school. lisbon_road, Wilko220, Yoss and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a headscratcher! I thought Japanese, but Duple was "Britain's finest coachbuilder" so surely would have picked something homegrown/readily obtainable. Unless they simply picked up a job lot of obscure parts on the cheap from a supplier that was struggling to offload them. Of course, they could have been retrofitted at some stage during its passenger carrying days (or after) - in which case anything goes. An early example of reversing lights integral within the cluster? JeeExEll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
