bunglebus Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 That's a useful tool but threw up a spurious colour change on a vehicle I know was definitely never orange when it was built! LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can access the same data twice just fine on my end? it does have a finite amount of look ups per day (not sure when it resets, but by the next day I know it does) so maybe you just happen to run into that limit for the day? 26 minutes ago, bunglebus said: That's a useful tool but threw up a spurious colour change on a vehicle I know was definitely never orange when it was built! yeah Im not sure how accurate the colour change thing is, my special tool has the same field, except I have never seen it show any previous colours even for vehicles I know have been different colours I have found the rest of the datasets to be accurate most of the time (there are some edge cases where current keepers dont get recorded/updated, like TPA621M still shows as having the same keeper since 1996! but these edge cases are pretty rare) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Working again now, although I am on a different device. I wonder if the data or rather the device access to it, is cached? It says it is not non EU import, so imported from EU? PREVIOUS KEEPER CHANGED ON03-04-2008 30-03-2005 16-10-2000 19-03-1995 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keef Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 My hunt for an early (1969 a 1970) cable changer has produced two possibilities. A blue 1969 Maxi in Holland. Recently imported from Belgium. And a white 1969 one in Sweden - Whilst I have imported from Belgium, I have never done the same from Scandinavia. Anyone any contacts for transport at all?

keef Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 MBH349H, if that is the reg.
