cobblers Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 I have never known a car who's design aged from being "that's bloody cool" to "no actually that's incredibly gawky and naff" in as quick of a time as the FJs did. Literally, within about three weeks of release the design aged 15 years AnnoyingPentium and SteersWithThrottle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVLA says Singer for JBT 833E Something very odd going on with this one. Last v5 issued in 1970 apparently (unlikely) and last taxed in 1990. Looks like it was partly cancelled on dvla's system or something. Help us out @LightBulbFun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help us out @LightBulbFun I am curious where you got the date of 1970 from? are you using a 3rd party tool (and if so which one?) that sounds like the UNIX time epoch, I have seen a few 3rd party tools default to that where no data is available its record on my end checks out fine, does not look like its ever been archived or cancelled by the DVLA looks like it was computerised in the mid 1970's and just never had a keeper change so still on its on its original dateless V5 hence "not available" for V5 issue date, and theres no recorded keeper changes (V5's from inception (1st October 1974) to about 1979~ did not have their issue date recorded/noted on them, so they will show no information available for V5 issue date) Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 I always think when a car like the Singer is pictured, there's a previous owner checking the DVLA site thinking their old car is long gone as it hasn't been taxed in 33 years - but it does actually survive. Maybe my dad's 1600E and mum's Super Minx are out there - somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2_craig Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 So that car presumably had the tax cashed in back in 1990, rather than left to expire at the end of a month. Been off the road for a whole decade longer than it was on the road. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 What's the sports car? Looks like a Fairthorpe or perhaps an AC. It couldn't be that car could it? It's a scene from Randall and Hopkirk (deceased).

barrett Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I would have said Fairthorpe or maybe a TVR, and IMCDB confirms it's a TVR Grantura martc, bunglebus, uk_senator and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
