Stealth Late registration madness too

Weird AF seeing a 4 digit 2 letter reverse plate on a car that old.... (such plates where not issued until 1953 at the earliest and a good number of registration offices issued the 4 digit 2 letter plates last rather then first, only issuing them after first exhausting all the 3 number 3 letter reverse combinations first)

but as thats what was current issue when it was finally registered in 1961 thats what it got!

and no ones bothered to Declare it manufactured 1950 either, its still a 1961 Vauxhall as far as the DVLA is concerned :) 

Maybe it came over from NI, Isle of Man or the Channel Isles and got a mainland reg in May 61, or could be a rebuild from parts?

Laugh at those A-series peasants in your 2-litre luxury sport brake (longroof) version of Britain's favourite* middleweight, the Montego.

On the plus side it's £350 and has a ticket.

On the minus side? Factory standard surprise and delight features:

Sagging but secure headlining.

Tailgate is currently opened from the inside but have replacement key and barrel ready to go on, I have preferred to not change it for the added security.

Periodic water ingress to front footwells.

I really like the look of that weirdly. Although wtf is going on with the centre two parking sensors, why are they red?! 

The wheels look wrong but not too bad! Good spot on the parking sensors, I hadn't noticed and dare not wonder to be honest 😆

Except it's bloody well not, is it. It's a half-arsed replica with a Clio 172 lump in it, meaning they've ruined two cars to make this POS

The asking price is pure fantasy

eaten too much chocolate ?  the posting of Ali G and his car was for comedic purpose which you obviously didn't get. 

cartaxcheck.co.uk  lists it as a 5GT turbo

I think he was referring to the eBay listing stating the car was a GT Turbo..
