Pete-M Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 im liking this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0330915402Another plate-rape victim? I don't reckon plate-rape is that bad. After all, with a lot of this stuff it's the plate that keeps the car together.. A mate bought an Auntie Rover 105 from the local reg place a couple of years ago, not a bad old thing, but it'd been kept together to keep the plate 'alive'. Reg place got it and wangled it through an MOT (apparantly a legit one) and flogged it to my mate who kept it going for a year then sold it on.If it hadn't had a pinchable plate it would have gone in the great weighbridge race of 2008.

Guest Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Those in the know can work out roughly when a plate transfer took place, the *SJ series was being used some years ago, so that Prefect won't have lost its original mark recently. It does annoy me how some MOT stations get away with dragging long-dead old junk out of barns, awarding them a hooky test certificate then flogging plate and blatantly unroadworthy vehicle separately - does VOSA ever latch onto such suspicious activity and check out such outfits?

It just seems a shame that the plate is often worth more than the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion this Trueno is probably one of the best preserved in this country.Yeah that centre console looks really well-preserved.Panel fit is second to none as well: Does "restore" just mean it was sprayed white then?

retrogeezer Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I've got absolutely no idea what a 'Trueno' is... As for the resto, I'd be suspicious of any estimate typed out in a word document : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Japanese naming - fliplights were Sprinter Trueno, fixed lights (like we had) were Corolla Levin.The panel fit thing is just weird, I've never seen one of them with bad panel fit - if that's the work of the bodyshop I wonder what the rest of the work was like?Also, why has he painted the lower headlights bit white? The flush grille looks a bit odd too, I'm no Trueno expert but I'm sure I've never seen that before.The whole thing doesn't bode well to me.

Guest Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 This is pretty good on Retro Rides: 1990 Vauxhall Astra 1.4 Merit Estate 3-door version! Don't see that much now. Looks nice for £100, even sports the original trims, bit scabby in places but looks like it'd tidy into a minter quite easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original mark is then usually reinstated, but as "non-transferable".So somebody probably rebuilt a rotten Minor at enormous expense solely to cash in on the plate, thinking that it would sell for £££££ and more than cover the cost of restoration - only to have their plans thwarted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the chap thought that it was a genuine 99 Turbo then he's a bit of a plonker - the presence of a single Stromberg under the bonnet should have been a bit of a giveaway, as well as the lack of boost gauge or any of the other extras that 99 Turbos had.

If the DVLA issues another plate (ie to replace one that's been taken off for whatever reason) then it's deemed non-transferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owain-328i Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Ah right. So the original registration can now not be transfered to another vehicle? Can it be put on retention should i want a private plate? (not that i do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredTransit Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 My Daimler had a private plate for years (which was etched on the windows), then when it was sold got it's original plate back (I know cos the original plate is on the service record) is it common for plates to be 'returned'?

Guest Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 is it common for plates to be 'returned'?A Trader mate has a plate he puts on his cars that he runs for a while. They allways revert back to the original plate so I suppose its d.v.l.a policy to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
