('Black') it wont be "PLG" back then, the whole PLG taxation class was introduced sometime during early DVLC years, light goods vehicles used to be in their own taxation class/system, hence the whole thing of buy a small van and stick seats/windows in it, they then lumped small goods vehicle into the private taxation class to put a kibosh to that hence ending up with the whole "PLG" taxation class (so if you look at an early V5 you will see for a regular motor car it just says "PRIVATE" for taxation class) adw1977 and HMC 2

I was thinking that it could be P/C for Private Car considering that other entries in that column are 'Cycle', 'Bicycle' and 'Goods' It looks lovely despite the leaks and the interior looks very nice. Does the badge still light up? High Jetter 1

Hertz Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Who the hell was King Zog? Edit - Looked like a cross between Peter Sellers and Hitler. Re-edit - Looks like a really interesting human being! Smoked up to 200 fags a day!!! High Jetter, privatewire, AnthonyG and 1 other 3 1
N Dentressangle Posted September 24 Posted September 24 If I were to buy a car previously owned by any royal, it would be King Zog. You just know he'd have never had anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein. privatewire 1
AnthonyG Posted September 24 Posted September 24 6 hours ago, HMC said: #1956 classifieds Love the phrase ‘well shod’ for the 1925 Fiat being sold by the Hispano Suiza dealer. I wonder how long tires lasted back then, I expect most were expected to do a good decade or so. Wonder when the proprietor of ‘Clarendon Motors’ stopped attending the Appleby Horse Fair? privatewire 1

artdjones Posted September 25 Posted September 25 The "sound" Hispano with Chapron body for £55 looks better value. Or the Aston for £105. privatewire 1
AnthonyG Posted September 25 Posted September 25 The exotic two door Hispano sounds amazing, and £55 sounds very reasonable, given that’s normally tired Ford Popular territory. It’s a non runner as well, so no excuses for not slotting in that ex War Department Austin lorry four pot you picked up cheap ‘just in case’. Morris 63 1

You just know he'd have never had anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein. He never even really had anything to do with any other royals - as a self-proclaimed one who basically just presided over a military dictatorship, they mostly felt he was illegitimate
AnthonyG Posted September 25 Posted September 25 I remember reading about the 1936 Tirana World’s Fair as a kid, sadly looking on Wikipedia this was obviously satirical as it never happened ☹️! Shame, would have been King Zog’s finest hour… HMC and privatewire 2
