This is a 1967 MGB, apparently

Last taxed in 1981. Well,  not this one, but the one the id came from for the ring-a-ding-dinger. 

Selling for his uncle* too. WCPGW?

I rather fancy the Moggy behind it ..... I was wondering if the MG is like a lot of the 'tax exempt' Defenders that are rolling around on the V5 for a Ser 2a?

Why bother with the ring a ding ding as it'll  be tax exempt anyway.

I'm guessing the original shell consisted of rust flakes and a vin plate.

It was probably given the fake ID some time between 2007 and 2012 before rolling tax exemption was resumed. I cannot understand doing it on something so obviously wrong but there are many cars around like this, there was a mk3 Cortina estate on eBay recently clearly a 1976 model with a 1972 log book! I would not pay more than a few hundred for these type of cars as I would be expecting a pull from plod as it is really obvious they are ringers.

Funnily enough - this on my FB Shite Search this morning : 1966 Ser 2a Land Rover

Land rover series 2a , 3500 v8 engine On a classic range rover chassis, On coil overs and disk breaks Mot and tax exempt, It comes with a modified certificate from dvla and v5  - Yeah, sure - it's missing original engine, transmission, axles, chassis, blah blah - how it got past the points system beats me

Would today's junior plod know anything other than 'aww, look, a nice * old car' - PNC check would show nothing untoward either so it'd likely not get a pull

That must have looked ancient even in 1923.

Yep,  Austin 7 would have seemed a great leap forward in comparison!

It wouldn't have looked like that back then:

Looking somewhat older courtesy of its brass radiator, windscreen surround and lighting set, this particular example is understood to date from the final few years of Model T production.

Sorry if I've missed it, but from the nice Bluebird above (listing already ended) I found this fantastic little thing:

It's an early one with narrow rear lights:

And from the same batch of registrations as some of Datsun UK's press cars.

I can't remember the usernames of Spitty owners on here but thought I'd share any way.

Galvanised Spitfire chassis anyone? Mainly mk4 apparently.

"Hello Autoshite Funerals, you die, we drive, how can we help?"

"Hello, my name is Mrs @Cavcraft, unfortunately Billy has bought another shitty old moped, and I've beaten him to death with his own shoes. Can you cart him off in something suitable?"

"No problem Madam, we have just the thing".
