I would guess that it has had a long holiday, possibly in Ireland.

14 years of not being caught is a LONG holiday 🤣

Do Ireland not care?

FTOU here we come

Lot 43 - 1993 Fiat Tempra - NO RESERVE (wbandsons.com)

Ooh I like that, digital dash too. However something a bit odd.  Last MOTd in 2012 with an advisory on sill corrosion. However the MOT mileages show from 7000 in 2006 to 18000 in 2012. So if the odometer is correct it did almost 50k in 2012-2013.   and only did 7k (or went around the clock) between 93 and 2006.  Guess it could have also had a replacement dash .  Still bloody cool though

 

EDIT

The odometer actually looks to desplaying 6700, not 67,000

Probably just not noticed. 30k miles in 14 years suggests it was used little.

 

If you're a policeman who spots it occasionally over the course of 14 years, why would you assume it has spent all that time in the country? You'd assume that the owner is just an occasional visitor to the area.

Yeah, that's probably true.
I don't know how advanced Ireland are in regards to things like ANPR, but particularly if it's near the border, I don't suppose anyone checks.

I don't think ANPR is really that good for this or used for this purpose anyway.

 

It could be used to show a car was in a certain place at a certain time, but of limited use for any more. I mean, if it was left in a garage or on a driveway most of the time and driven very occasionally, what would we learn from ANPR?

Park Royal Vehicles were a major manufacturer of bus and other commercial vehicle bodies in N. London. Turned out some amazing stuff:

This lorry looks of the highest quality and I do hope it passes into sympathetic new ownership. Possibly a unique survivor...

Factory closed in 1979 during BL's 'rationalisation'.

Many were unhappy about this. This what was said in Parliament:

I guess they then rely on someone telling them.

Happened to my neighbour - we still don't know who was upset with it. They originally lived in Spain and brought back one of their cars. They barely used it - sat outside their house most of the time except when it did a trip twice a year back to Spain.

Someone stitched them up.

Back in sixth form 1986/7 a young female in my form class had one of these in that metallic green colour. 

Can confirm, that despite being 4 stone lighter at the time, there was limited room in there for "friendliness".

Back in sixth form 1979/80  .....
My girlfriend's dad had a small car business and we succeeded in lots of "friendliness" in many, many different Marques and models.
The handbrake problem is remedied by diligent use of parking in gear and leaving the handbrake off.
Naff front seats (i.e. not a bench seat Victor or the like) get inventive with the rear seat and canine style (family channel here  ) 
Avoid velour - take the poverty spec, wipe clean, vinyl option.

Do not park anywhere that you may ever, ever, ever get bogged down or, even worse, said girlfriend's dad may just spot you in passing

I like how the interior shot has been artfully cropped to hide the 20p coin not wedged in the handbrake.
