Pieman Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Not really Timelord related but I thought this might be worthy of inclusion here. During a forum discussion on "worst records ever" the other day on another site, this came up. This is the video to "Where's Me Jumper?" by Irish punk band Sultans of Ping FC, released in February 1992. As you can see in the thumbnail image (which is at about 1:38 in the video) - unless I am very much mistaken, that's the ex-KLF/Jesus Jones '71 Ford LTD. Just how many owners within the music industry did that thing have? garethj, Low Horatio gearbox, Dabooka and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if the vehicle is SORN then the DVLA wont do anything, but it seems if you tax a historic vehicle in a regular taxation class the DVLA will then go "oh this should be in the historic vehicle taxation class, heres a new V5 with the taxation class changed accordingly" (and I guess they would issue you a refund on any regular tax you paid, but I dont know for sure because the above tractor was null rate even when not in the historic class, so there would be nothing to refund) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbaldy Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 @LightBulbFun for that to have happened someone had to tax the timelord or they wouldnt have issued a new v5. Im still of the opinion someone has applied for its v5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I think you have gotten a bit confused, so heres a quick time line of Ford timelord DVLA developments a V5 was issued on the 6th of April 2020 suddenly, for the first time in about 30 years, and a new keeper showed up, so someone clearly V62'ed (or used the 11 digit number of the previous V5 to do a keeper change) that explains this V5 then suddenly The timelord was SORNed and had a V5 issued on the 10th of July 2020, but No keeper change, now for it to have been SORN'ed it would of have to have been taxed (since a vehicle untaxed since before 1998 cannot be SORNed) and someone else over on @quicksilver's blog spotted that before the Timelord was SORNed it was taxed for only 6 months expiring in July 2021 now you cannot tax a historic vehicle for only 6 months, so someone must have taxed the Timelord in its regular PLG tax class for only 6 months so that then left us wondering at the time what was this 10th of July V5 for if it was not a post office change to historic vehicle (which would of taxed the vehicle for 12 months directly into the historic vehicle class) but now with the info I have learned from tractor exploits it looks to have been issued by the DVLA who issued a new V5 in the historic vehicle taxation class after it was taxed in the PLG class because it was a historic vehicle hopefully this makes sense! and then another V5 was issued Jan 2021, I dont think we know what that one was issued for!

I idly decided to check the DVLA again and was amazed to see it now says the last V5 was issued on 10 July 2020. That's another new V5 this year and just 3 days ago. Something is definitely going on here... because it was not Taxed and then SORN'ed until January 2021, which was 6 months after that July 2020 V5 was issued On 23/01/2021 at 13:45, LightBulbFun said: WGU18G has been SORNed! so must have been taxed at some point recently! (even if just to SORN it) as it was untaxed since 1989 and you cant SORN a vehicle thats been untaxed since before 1st of January 1998 so it looks like the V5 issued on the 29th of January 2021, is the one issued by the DVLA to put the vehicle into the historic vehicle taxation class, after it was taxed for 6 months in the PLG taxation class where as the reason for the one on the 10th of July 2020 being is an unknown (but we do at least know that one was not issued for taxation reasons as the vehicle remained untaxed for a good while afterwards, and not for keeper change reasons) so to clarify the recent DVLA/V5c timeline looks to be: V5c issued, 6th of April 2020, issued because of a Keeper change after 33 years V5c issued, 10th July 2020 issued for Unknown reasons, (no taxation or keeper changes) V5c issued, 29th of January 2021, likely Issued by the DVLA to put the vehicle into the historic vehicle taxation class after the vehicle was in the DVLA's eyes, incorrectly taxed that month in the PLG class for 6 months (side note just noticed this is all on page 23 LOL) Dabooka and 808 Estate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been off the road, untaxed since 1982. They were quite happy to put it back on the records. Phil Edit: Never mind, they updated it into the computer and left it as UNTAXED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but the consensus is that if there were really two cars the one that got raced was the 'fake' WGU so its VIN would be wrong for that registration. All very intriguing and something definitely seems to be brewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Having read through the early part of this thread again, I am definitely thinking that both cars got taken and stored away somewhere after they went out of use, and subsequently ended up at the continually-rumoured location in East Anglia. One was then bangered, and I reckon the other one is either still there, or off the back of our research is secretly being restored somewhere. It's a fanciful theory I know, but it might just hold water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard_FM Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I'm trying to remember how many Timelords there are: One was left on Jimmy's drive in 1991, which I think broke down in Sweden & had it's identity swapped onto a second Galaxie, which I think was used for most of the videos & driven to Spain. I think this second car might be in storage somewhere. The car that was bangered was a slightly later American car, with blue paint visible under the police livery. The fourth was sold to a member of another band, & was eventually scrapped from what I remember. This was a later car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
