Slappy Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 That was my thought also. According to HML there were 17 registered in 06, 1 in 07 and in 09. Was always a rare beastie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was always a rare beastie An 07 one lived near me and I used to see it quite often but it appears to have died about 6 months ago. It wasn't the only one though; it was licensed as a Tata TL2 SWB and HML says there were 20 of them registered in 2007. I wish I'd taken a photo of it as I didn't realise how rare it was.

BarryD Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 How about an F registered Opel Manta, registered in January 1989, production ceased in July ‘88, it must have sat on a lot for a while. I’ve heard about some G registered ones but no photos have been offered. warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover 75 Tourer 2.0 CDT115 Connoisseur 2008 by Greg W, on Flickr There's a batch of 10, built in 2003 for a taxi company in Bermuda. The buyer had gone bust by the time they arrived there and after sitting at the docks for a few years they eventually found their way back to the UK and were registered on RK08 plates.
