Kerr Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Off to collect Eyersey1234's Matiz this morning. I'm a sucker for a cheap rail ticket (less than half the cost of the next most expensive!) so I'm setting off much, much earlier than I really have to. Prepare for excitement, drama, and things to do in Hull! First off, 15 minutes on this trusty steed because wife and child are still fast asleep meaning a lift to the station was off the cards. Bringing me to this glorious place of wonder and opportunity... jumpingjehovahs, The Moog, DoctorRetro and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacus Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Good luck, although I don't think the Matiz will give you any problems, it looks a good buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerr Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 First and only change of the day. I'm shocked, given how cheap the ticket was. Long(ish) change so time for a quick wander around. Not much to see pre-9am though. Wingz123 and strangeangel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerr Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Made it to Hull. And (in what is maybe a first for a collection thread?) headed to the gym... I'm training for a half marathon in November and didn't want to miss a run from my training plan and this lot were giving out free day passes. I'm not really sure why I'm doing it to myself!

Yes please that would be very much appreciated (as well as a general overview shot of course ) I understand they have GVW564H an Invacar Mk12E, a close relative of I believe GVW600H, the Invacar Mk12E wearing "SFA1873" plates up in scotland sadly its unknown what chassis numbers the GVW-H block covers so it would be very much appreciated if you can grab a chassis plate shot if your not sure where the chassis plate is, it should be by the drivers seat as shown here (the grey/black rectangle incase its hard to make out) Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpjitservices Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Last time I was in the museum the Invacar wasnt there... It could be back now though as they where doing a revamp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyersey1234 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I took some photos the last time I was there and thought I took one of the Invicar, I can't have done though as it isn't in the ones I took that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightBulbFun Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 aye I did a quick google search and could not turn anything up sadly hopefully its on display now or such so info can be gathered on it (I do apologize to the OP for derailing his thread onto Invacars!

There were a couple of empty looking spots but I didn't think much of it at the time. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(since some members where getting a bit annoyed that suddenly there where invacars everywhere, my bad!) shame it sounds like its sadly not on display anymore, given how I cant find any photos of it online, I wonder if they still have it even? to those who do remember seeing it, how long ago was it roughly that you last saw it?

Kerr Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Quick update now I'm safely back home. @Eyersey1234 is a top bloke and it was very kind of him to come and collect me from the station. Pleasure doing business with you, sir! I quite enjoyed my day out in Hull. I'm glad I opted for the cheapest possible ticket! I can confirm that the Matiz was an absolute bargain and is a tremendous wee car. It performed admirably on the journey home and is now taking a well earned break on the driveway. Thankfully the wife approves of it, offering feedback of "owh, it's so cute". Job done! Final pics of the day: Just after purchase and ready to hit the road. Taking a break while I have a naughty McDonalds, rendering the gym session earlier today truly pointless!
