I read too many Ford dealer brochures in the late 70s and early 80s so I'm going to stick my neck out and suggest that's an L and not a base because the base model didn't have the double trim line along the sills. 

The base Cortina gained the stripes during the W reg period, with the L getting side mouldings at the same time.  So it could be base or L.

Wow.

Anybody explain the Cooper type S thing? 

No, it's been on eBay on and off for ages and the current owner knows nothing of it's history so we'll probably never know now. 

I think, years ago in the past, in a DVLA office long since closed, someone simply made a mistake and it (somehow) never got corrected.

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.

I think those 68 horses have escaped.

Still baffles the knackers off me why anybody would convert a luton into a camper and not have any windows.

That, surely, is the only 'pole' that's ever getting erected in that travelling bucket of wank.

One's a tired old nag in a blue coat that's been left outside to piss its own miserable existence away in the Welsh rain. The other is a horse.

If only we knew someone who has a track record for a similar (but much nicer) Vauxhall in Wales.

'Heather with Cerise'

 

...sounds like a problem with your auntie's fanny. 'Dear Joan, totes soz we couldn't make your birthday, but what with the cost of fucking fuel and Heather with Cerise, we can't really travel in case her minge gets further inflamed by the upholstery. Her clunge is already the same colour, by the time we arrived in Bathstock-upon-trouser snake she'd be fizzing at the bung hole. Lots of love, your faithful brother Eric'

If I had [insert reserve amount here] I would very shortly be collecting a pink car.  ESSENTIAL TRAVEL.

You’d have to have a chauffeur, though. Ideally some washed up, pissed up chain smoking has-been who could regale you with stories of Cilla Black accidentally flashing her hirsute ginger sausage hider as she fell out of the car at 3.30am.
