Shite from the TV that has/hasn’t survived

[junkyarddog]

The HB GT was a 2000cc.

[Wilko220]

The Jonathan Creek Ovlov didn't last much beyond its (extensive) use in the programme. Not taxed since '99.

[bunglebus]

I've been (re)watching Misfits, some great shite on there but not a lot of good screenshots online

GNH799X untaxed since 1999

C738SGU SORN, no MoT since 2010

 

RAZ7690 is now on a black Ford

 

No reg seen on that one

 

H814HRU is in S1 E4 but I'm sure it's the same one that got squished in S1 E1. No tax/MoT since '09/'10 unsurprisingly

Plate doesn't come up - ends up dead anyway

No reg seen on this one

[Mr Laurence]

Considering it was filmed in 2003 when they were worth sweet FA, I was surprised to see that the 2CV from Dead Man’s shoes is still about. On SORN, but still with a valid MOT

[martc]

Unlike this one, untaxed since 11/3/86, 10 years old. He couldn't belieeeeeeeeeeeve that someone had dumped a car in his skip.

In fact Victor was some sort of 2CV magnet, this one was finally given up on on 25/9/89, again 10 years old...

And his own Honda?

Untaxed since 10/8/92, only 6 years old - outlived by 2 x 2CV's? Heads will be rolling in Hamamatsu.

In this months Classic Ford magazine it has the Sweeney Consul in it.

There were at least 2 different Morris Minors used as Nurse Gladys's car:

JOJ 117E last taxed on 1 June 1986

MNB 865G last taxed on 1 May 1985

wonder if father teds or onslo cortinas still exists

Onslows Cortina was stored for many years in a breakers yard before going up for sale around 10-15 years ago. It never found a buyer and was eventually used for banger  racing.

Surprised me it never got bought but then this is always the case people complain it gets raced but then they’ve got shallow pockets when it comes to the crunch.

Barry's HA van is said on the various AWP fan sites to still exist but no one has actually seen it

AEA735T was originally an unissued registration used for the mocked up plates on Barry's van, but it seems to have been issued & fitted to a 1981 Bedford HA van that's on SORN at the moment.  I wonder if someone managed to buy the registration from the DVLA & have made a replica of Barry's van.

I wonder if there was a way to find out the proper registration of the van was, though as it didn't look to healthy in the mid 1980s I wouldn't be surprised if it's around any more.

hah yeah that could be a good "sub section" of the great plates thread

of really expensive private plates on autoshite type/condition vehicles LOL

There has been a K10 Micra featured on AS threads (Kazy Spotters?) at least twice, which I think has a single letter / single numeral registration.
