A really half-arsed internet search suggests these will do 50mph. So about half the speed of anyone who had an FS1E or AP50 back in the day told you theirs did.

I had a couple of F(r)antics in 1980. Faster than those FS1E things, but the AP50s were a bit quicker.

I do quite fancy ticking one of these orf the list

me too, I wouldn't be embarrassed to drive one, but I would be annoyed finding it tipped on its side every Friday night.

They’re massive fun, I have memories of absolutely flying down the a3 in my old one, and definitely hitting corners a bit too quickly, I never rolled it though I’m proud to say

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
