Starting handle present and correct in the engine bay 👍 High Jetter, lesapandre and JeeExEll 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightBulbFun Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 1 hour ago, lesapandre said: That is probably the wackiest late registration there is @LightBulbFun? its pretty good but I think the wackiest still has to go to the G Prefix 1934 Morris that @quicksilver spotted this one is extra whacky, because it was robbed of its original plate AP25 in 1992, and so should of been given an Age related 3 letter 3 digit plate, but instead it was given a G prefix *age related* plate because it happened to be computerised in 1990 sadly in around about 2021 someone requested a "proper" age related plate for it so it ended up as NXS470, personally I would of kept it on the the G prefix plate for the anomaly the 2nd wackiest has to be this 1941 Bedford which ended up on a B prefix plate!

Bedford O type B150 SDC by Gyles Carpenter, on Flickr this is also a very similar case to the Morris in that it was Computerised with its original registration mark of DWP40, but then when it was sadly robbed of its mark in 2013, someone at the DVLA gave it an age related mark according to its date of computerisation rather then its actual date of manufacture, and in this case it does still retain its erroneous mark of B150SDC and thats what I love about these 2 vehicles, is they are genuine cockups and that the B prefix and G prefix registration marks they have/had, are themselves also age related plates ie not of current series for example B150SDC was issued in 2013, so its neither a period 1984 mark, nor is it really an age related mark in this case adw1977, Wibble and lesapandre 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a mine of information @LightBulbFun The Morris is an Oxford of about 1934/5 and was offered in 16HP and 20HP versions. Fab patina. Not a Farina fin in sight.
