Registered 1990 so curious to what it is as the advert states based on a standard 10?... watching anyway!,

looks like it was a re-registered jobby registered 1990 but declared manufactured 1935 and given an age related plate (or 3!)

not sure what the form would of been called back in 1990, but todays equivalent would be a V55/5 "register a used vehicle for the first time"

same sort of thing like if you had imported a vehicle, but in this case it was probably done because all registration info for the vehicle was probably long since lost when it was probably unearthed in 1990

(as a side note, im quite happy that its not been chopped or messed with any other way other than the engine swap and that makes it quite cool in its own right, you see so many hot rods etc these days that have been chopped and extensively modified that you rarely actually see any relatively standard 1930s cars and the such like, which I find a bit sad)

I would love this, it's a kei car but even by Japanese standards it's clever.  It's mid engined; tucked under the rear seats so you still get a decent sized boot.  4x4 too and this is the turbocharged version for extra zoom and presumably extra toasty buttocks for the rear seat passengers.

From the stance, modern wheels and wide track , I think you’ll find its been modified a bit more than just the engine. Probably got Viva front end and back axle, which would make sense considering the 1256 VX lump. All of this is a good thing for actually going round corners and stopping.

Saab 9-5 Aero Auto Estate, high miles but a rare beast for two reasons.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Saab-9-5-Aero-HOT-Auto-Estate/153870670284?hash=item23d36819cc:g:Dx4AAOSwzOlec5u1

Ventilated front seats (as well as heated but they all get those)

and.... It misses the higher rate tax band by 10 days so you are not paying £550 a year for the honour.

If this had a sunroof, it would be the holy grail ?

£1000 with 12 months MOt, but needs tyres all round as advisories.

"Woke up this morning feeling shite

Had a beige pick-up on my mind

Then I saw this Peugeot, and I thought it looked good

Something tells me my knob is made of wood"

I'm quite a fan of the Uren Stampede, mainly because of the airbrushed coach lines. A proper 70's machine!

I like this.  Crazy and fun. In a Mad Max way. Tax and MoT exempt apparently...yippeee ULEZ exempt. Just the thing for next year...but...

Then I looked at it more closely. The registration is for a '47 Austin 10. There is no Austin 10 in this at all I can see - the 10 had a semi-unitary body so it can't incorporate chassis parts.  This is what a '47 10 looks like...

It is taxed under the 1125cc engine at the moment as (probably) Historic Tax Free - but the chassis/drivetrain/wheelbase is surely all Nissan - and the body Ford 60's. V5 is currently away for amendment but it surely can't deserve the 47 plate? Its an 80's Patrol with a Ford body. Anyway good luck to the owner. I also wonder what happened to the 47 Austin? Does that still exist or is this a logbook job dreamt up from something found at an autojumble on a car long gone? I'm not sure - I would not like to get stopped by VOSA claiming tax and MoT exemption.  It would make some Wombles day.

Bit like those D-Type Jags - 'authentic' cars created from the wing of a car crashed and crushed 60 years ago or where they take a Vintage Bentley and share the parts out between two cars...all very complicated. ? Not for me. If it was more straightforward I might have gone to have a look but its just not worth the grief.
