Amazing.I can imagine the competition getting a bit nervous if you turned up at Standlake in that!

Why not? 8) Rock up to the Polish carwash in that and see if they'll do it for £3.50

DA IZ ORSUM M8! 8) Really though, That is barmy, I would love to see the mot testers face when that pulled up!

Obviously specially built to pull that trailer hooked on the back :wink:

Imagine being daft enough to stand in front of it!It would be a priviledge to die under it's wheels!

I'd roll in it..... I'd love to park that in my street. Fuck'em.

At what point through the project did the man think: "This isn't going to work."

None, I suspect. Mad bugger managed to nail it together after all.

I was wondering that, the last lorries with the LAD cab were Albion Reivers/Clydesdales built in 1972, could it be that the Westie/Leyland hybrid was 'built' in the year on the 'S' plate and was registered accordingly? was this before the advent of the 'Q' plate for such vehicles? anyone know :? I'd love that vehicle, it would really impress the neighbours :twisted: wonder if it's hiding in a lockup somewhere.....

Back in the day there was no such thing as an age related plate, if you imported a 1962 Mk 1 Cortina in 1980 it got a V plate, as one of my relatives did.

Yes indeed. I remember seeing a mid-1960's Singer Vogue saloon around Swansea on a W-plate. I wonder what happened to it.I hate age-related plates - they are just so 'Heartbeat'. At least the W-plate on the Vogue said something about the vehicle, it's history and when it came to be registered on the UK mainland.

Exhibit A, allegedly ex-australia, whatever the truth it was 9 years old before it got a UK registration.

Hmm, I wonder how that stands with black/silver plates then. Is that based on reg date or manufacture date? :?

Officially it's based on registration date but as we know, all coppers are mongs. There was special dispensation for some catagories after 01.01.1973 like buses, agricultural vehicles etc, all other vehicles were supposed to go all reflective on us!

ACAB is so last week. ACAM is the tattoo of choice amongst the King's Road set.
