This looks nice.  Shame it's on a Q plate - not sure how easy it is to get rid of such things nowadays.

s-l1600.jpg

Ooh thats a fun one

lets have a breakdown of things shall we! 

TEU199C is an age related plate from the year 2001 registered to a White 1596cc Gazelle with no recorded engine number 

this registration mark was Voided by the DVLA at some point, but still very much alive in their records https://www.freecarcheck.co.uk/free/VEVVMTk5Qw-MTY0NDY3MjQ5Nw/

Q337RFB is a Q plate issued to a Black 1725cc Gazelle registered in December 1997, registered on its engine number, or its chassis number has also been incorrectly inputted into the engine number field

(I dont know enough about singers to tell what is a Chassis number and what is an engine number) https://www.freecarcheck.co.uk/free/UTMzN1JGQg-MTY0NDY3MzA3Ng/

so its no surprise that the DVLA Voided TEU199C as the details just dont match up, (although I dont know what chassis number TEU199C has on its record as that costs actually credit to find out!)

this is why its always important to get your details squeaky clean correct on your V62 or the DVLA will ruin your day and void whatever registration mark your trying to get the V5c for!

 

I have a sneaky suspicion someone just slapped the plates from TEU199C onto it, to get it exported to Ireland or something such (as the Q plate was issued a good a few years before it looks like it was exported to Ireland)

EDIT: as an aside I did find https://www.flickr.com/photos/128691640@N04/48893710421

which lists its chassis number as  ending in H50 rather than HS0 thats listed on the Q plate ID

 

but the better question is how did it end up on a Q plate back in 1997, and does the vehicle retain any of its original ID? (ie Chassis number) if some original ID can be found then the next question is did it manage to get computerised on its original registration mark back in the 1970s/1980's and if so can said record be found?

if that can be achieved, then its just a V62 for the correct ID 

otherwise even if an original vehicle registration record cannot be found, then a dating letter from an appropriate club should be enough to get it age related plate to replace the Q plate

 

TL;DR Q plate Smoo plate whatever doesn't phase me :) (as a bonus side note, its fun to see that Not taxed for on road use is still in the "NOT LICENSED" taxation class and after 47 years no ones corrected that spelling mistake) 

(I dont think this is the first time its been for sale/in this thread because I remember looking up these registration marks before LOL)

Being pedantic, that original record is wrong too - the 1.6-litre Rootes engine was 1592cc, not 1596.

to turn the pedantry up to 11 :) there is nothing to actually say that TEU199C is the original record or  has anything to do with the car in question, its just simply the registration mark that the Vehicle was imported into Ireland with

 

there could be some Poor bastard out there with the actual TEU199C suddenly wondering why his car wont show up on the DVLA anymore LOL

Not scene one of these before...

Not seen a 3-wheeled one in a while, although there have been a couple of 4-wheel versions pop up for sale.

I'd be tempted if the price was a bit more sensible.

Phwooar that's nice!  Thankfully, I'm still in love with my d3, although I have always hankered for the 4.2.  I think the old one is better looking too (slightly), but the d3's interior is just beautiful.  

Good job this one is not round the corner though...

 

Edit: Great ad too, seems an honest/genuine description.

Paying road tax on this must be a real ball ache. I had a Rover P5b that just missed out on tax exemption and it really knocked the value. Still, this Singer looks to be a really interesting vehicle.

on the face of it does, but once you get its year of manufacture properly declared (or its actual non Q plate vehicle record if there is one, is found) then it can go into the £NIL rate historic vehicle taxation class :)

 

although it is still interesting to note the discrepancies between the Q plate record and the Age related record, the Flicker link does state that the vehicle was repainted black by the film company

its worth noting that on its Irish Age related ZV plate its recorded as White https://www.motorcheck.ie/free-car-check/?vrm=ZV5548

but that the Q plate record shows no record of a colour change

 

I have to wonder given that this was a film car, and especially one that wore fake plates for its shoot, I wonder if a couple Gazelles where bought by this film company and then at some point after the shoot, someone attached the wrong number plates to the wrong car?
