Late registration madness

[RedSparrow]

Apparently EAs were made up until 1984. Amazing I know. I guess it was the Post Office buying loads like BT with the equally ancient Commer-spacevans.

GR8 picture though!

That was at the Ford show at Bath and West showground - the pic was taken either yesterday or today.

 

The car is a export GT model (hence the Super side trim) which went to South Africa when new, came back to the UK in 1980 hence the V plate.

 

There was a nice row of Mk1 Cortinas there at the show, including a mint B reg 4 dr that has been in a recent Practical Classics. Also a 'Savage' Mk3 4dr which was bought by Mr Barings (of the now defunct bank) for his wife in 1972.

^^^ DVLA says manufactured 1995. Verdict = cock-up on registering an import?

[Morgan84]

Yes,the Inca was about a 1995 special edition

If I were spending that sort of cash on a 406 (heaven forbid...), I'd want it perfect & not with a borked radio display

Audi 80 spotted today on a 'Y' plate...!

DVLA cockup here by the look - it is declared as manufactured in 1993 but registered in June 01 with a then-current Y-reg instead of an age-related plate. I'm guessing it's an import.

blimey ive only seen x reg ones

[mk2_craig]

I've seen more than one white ST200 on a 51-reg (cancelled police order?) but never an 02.

 

Now worth, of course, absolutely nothing more than an X-plater

[Morgan84]

Being a saloon model,thats probably why it sat unsold for a while with the arrival of the bigger and better ? MK3 Mundaneo. I personally thought the saloon was the best looking of the bunch

[kinkersaab]

this car is very local to me, not seen one as new before.

[ashmicro]

Autodata lists the 607 up to 2011!

[HMC]

L plate merc 190s. The successor c class was launched around the L plate intro, so the last of the old dealer stock went out on an L. This one i picked up a few weeks ago as a project car. ST is an Inverness registration, not often seen in Devon!

[AndyW201]

^^^ I recognise that car, you must be matb that's just joined the 190 forum then? Thought I recognised the 126 in the pictures.

 

The last 190s built were the LE models (all on L reg), so yes, L plated non LEs are quite rare. My old brown 2.0 was built late '92 but not registered until mid '93. Probably because brown wasn't exactly fashionable then...

 

There's also a white 2.6 190 on ebay on an M plate, that does look weird. Not as weird as the 02 reg one on there a few years ago though!

Haha, well its "1 year old".

[Morgan84]

Much better than a 407

[willswitchengage]

That's amazing why is the speedo in kms though? Irish import?

[rml2345]

That 406 is proper late! Also, muchos bargainos methinks...

Spotted this the other week;

How late did they sell K11 Micras?

[Lord Sterling]

Those K11s were made until 2002, the one above would have been the last run off models. Anything over that (03 onwards) wouldnt be unusual as thats when the K12 took over.

Fuck a duck. Five grand? I'd hit it.

Spec is a bit high for the Irish market - 2.0/leather/auto/alloys/climate

 

My money's on it being a Jap import.

I didn't even click but my mate replaced his R-reg K11 with an 03-plate K11 the same as this one. Didn't occur it was particularly late... I'll need to snag a pic.
