The ring terminals look like something to go on a dynastart control box, maybe. l LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess what im wondering here is when where the Red Blue Yellow crimp terminals introduced? I generally have them in my head as a fairly recently introduction, but i have no real basis for that I did wonder if it might of been a partial loom for the voltage regulator box in a Model 70, but those dont use so many ring terminals https://autoshite.com/topic/29443-zels-motoring-adventurespeugeot-renault-rover-trabant-invacar-a-sinclair-c5-2901-tyre-time/page/156/#comment-2705741 lesapandre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they appeared in the early 70s. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 13 hours ago, LightBulbFun said: interesting! I wonder if its this chaps Invacar? @Datsuncog you would not happen to have a link to the video or such? i'd like to scope it out for fine details (specifically the fact the MIA fuel tank, I dont see any evidence of a neck or cap, although there is a black smudge next to hole which might be the cap maybe they took it off to inspect inside the fuel tank for some reason?!) Sorry, haven't ever seen this footage before. I think you have the link now from Warren, though. It's one of those odd things that until the arrival of YouTube, an awful lot of footage about The Troubles was never shown (or at least, not repeated after appearing on a news bulletin) in Northern Ireland. 'Local sensitivities', fear that people in the footage would be identified and reprisals taken; that sort of thing. I saw more in-depth, uncensored footage about certain events of The Troubles on TV while I was living in Australia in the mid-2000s than I did growing up just down the road from the same events in the 80s and 90s. egg, auntiemaryscanary, jon.k and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, Adam let me know about it earlier today I appricate the heads up on it tho! its a machine with a very interesting story behind it, one I have known about, but never seen until now, once I have chased up a few leads ill to try and tie up a couple loose ends on it if I can, ill do a proper write up on it but for now, as a teaser, look it up on the DVLA and note its date of first registration its one very much worth saving (and knowing its history it should be in very good mechanical condition), just a shame the seller wants so much for it!

chadders Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Obviously it's finally broken RED5 despite him having an iron constitution and he's sold it. Alternatively he could have written it off trying to establish its top speed and it's gone to the scrappers. I imagine it'd be pretty unstable at 82mph and if the tyres were old he might have had a blow out. I hope that he's OK and also your insurance covered him, all the policies I've seen exclude speed trials etc.. Anyway it'd solve your quandary as to whether to buy a Kangoo, Berlingo or whatever.

No, I'll never stop taking the piss out of the DVLA and their outdated processes and reliance on cheques and postal orders 🤣 yeah it is quite amusing ill give you that, as @wuvvum says the only reason I have a cheque book is because I had to send off a V62, but I do wonder if theres method to the madness (or would that be method to the antiquity in this case? LOL) see in some regards, im kinda glad its so archaic, I mean imagine if a V62 could be done online with a debit/credit card or paypal the amount of people would probably fuck around with that would probably increase quite a bit, not to mention any potential bots or such but by being a physical form you have to fill out and take to the post office plus get a cheque for, it probably helps just by "natural selection" if thats the right phrase? filter out the people who might try and half heartedly apply for the logbook of a Ford Escort Mexico or something such and also physical stuff leaves a physical audit trail, which I imagine would probably come into play if there was a legal dispute over who had the rights to the keepership of a vehicle and I do wonder if the DVLA themselves are aware of this, because pretty much every other service can be done online these days you can tax vehicles online, do keepership changes online, you can even request a duplicate logbook online if and pay the the same V62 £25 fee online, and even change the address on ones logbook online but you explicitly cannot do a request for a vehicle logbook that is not already in your name, and so I kinda wonder if that is intentional egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
