AnthonyG Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 When did they stop making the Jag XJS? Saw one today with a N Plate, looked like a run-out model with subtle body kit etc. 1996, so thats about right. I've seen than on a P plate.

Fair enough, so doesn't really for this thread then - Looked good though.
Tartan58 Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Sure I've seen a 51 Plate escort estate (def not a van) kicking around, although I guess the one above could be the last one built but not neccessaraly the last one registered.
mnde Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 My dad used to own Triumph TR7 EWC 504Y, a convertible in Carribean Blue The enquiry is complete The vehicle details for EWC 504Y are: Date of Liability 01 10 2009 Date of First Registration 06 08 1982 Year of Manufacture 1982 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1998CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour BLUE Vehicle Type Approval Surely the year of manufacture should be 1981!! It was definitely an older car than the "last-of-line" in Gaydon: If production finished in October 1981, dad's car spent a minimum of 10 months in the unsold stockpile! I've not yet seen another Y-plater. I've got a pic or two of EWC, but hidden away in a box full of prints from my pre-digital days. Mark.
Richard Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 I've seen another Y plate TR7, the number completely escapes me though. I forgot about this J plate Volvo 340 drift weapon that's been lurking in my Flickr. DSC_7966 by RichardB5, on Flickr DSC_7964 by RichardB5, on Flickr
brammy777 Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 There is an N reg Uno that I see everytime I go driving. That must be a late one, surely.
chaseracer Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 C-reg mk2 Grandad, this morning. You could get the mk3 on a B...!
Pete-M Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Mate of mine passed his test on Monday this week, and before he got home he'd gone and bought himself a new Peugeot 207. He collects it in the next couple of weeks, and it'll be a 60 plate. So, about three days off an '11'. Got a big old discount on it though.
ProgRocker Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I once or twice did see a 1986-91 shape white Vauxhall Belmont on an M or N reg... I was pretty damn sure it WAS a Vauxhall and NOT actually a Daewoo Nexia saloon. I suspect that it was some scallies driving an MOT failure Belmont on false plates.
Father Ted Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 T565 KDW by cms206, on Flickr Bloody hell, seen plenty of S plates, but never a T.
r.welfare Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 51-plate W124 Merc, anyone? (built 1996, but still...) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2001-MERCEDES-E220-BLUE-/190497404134
chaseracer Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 /\/\ Is that one of the Indian-built jobs? EDIT: Just read the blurb. Apparently, it was IMPORTED INTO India. That's OK then...
RoadworkUK Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 I nicked bits off an absolutely mint Mk1b Rover 820si on a K Plate at G+L Parts, Colchester once. K***CRY, appropriately enough.
Lord Sterling Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I nicked bits off an absolutely mint Mk1b Rover 820si on a K Plate at G+L Parts, Colchester once. K***CRY, appropriately enough. Someone on the rover site owns this:
trigger Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Now I'm no expert on Metros but this 1999 plate 114 i saw today on a garage forecourt strikes me as being pretty late. 1999 Rover 114 GSi by Trigger's Retro Road Tests!, on Flickr Here's the advbert for it, The garage want £895 for it, They stopped making them on 23rd December 1997 so a 31/3/99 one is mega late! http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/uvl/po ... distance=0
Shep Shepherd Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I once saw a 1982 X-reg Volvo 760 GLE. Presumably, it was originally registered and used by Volvo Concessionaires Limited in the months leading up to the model's official UK launch. I've also seen L and M-reg 240 estates
Lankytim Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Heres a late BMW 3 series.. YAK YAK!!!! cms206 1
fordperv Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Saw a k reg series 2 escort rs turbo. An f reg 3 door sierra cos and a l reg sierra sapphire

I don't think Rover 100s *officially* got past 'R' reg.
nickhanson Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 i once saw a MK3 fiesta same shape as mine bomb past me on the M1 northbound on an R plate,and i saw a sierra GT on an M plate as regards to the escort thing earlier on in this thread my sister had a 2001 Y reg escort finesse estate td and she had it up until about a week ago when alas the metal worm had destroyed it but it died with a very respectable 167,000 on the clock with no real issues
nickhanson Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 *faints* YES AGREED!!! i know its a kit jobby but still!!! i would love to have one of them as a daily hack!! i still think they look better than most cars today! just basic un complicated transport

I don't think Rover 100s *officially* got past 'R' reg. i wonder if you would be constantly pulled over by the police driving that while they checked the car was on original plates ... pain in the ass that would be
trigger Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Nissan Bluebird K reg, K reg, K reg, Don't ask me why Reg it's just happens to year. I haven't got a clue why that just popped into my head when i saw that!
Clevtrev Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Nissan Bluebird K reg, K reg, K reg, Don't ask me why Reg it's just happens to year. I haven't got a clue why that just popped into my head when i saw that! I went and saw John Shuttleworth in Milton Keynes just before Christmas. Absolutely superb. For anyone scratching their heads... Clicky clicky..
Guest Leonard Hatred Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I'm quite tempted to go and see Shuttleworth in Inverness. K-reg Bluebird is odd, didn't the Primera start in 1991 - possibly as early as H?
Jonnyvalenta Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Couple of weeks ago I was astounded to see a B reg Golf GTi MK1. Wish I'd got the rest of the number but I was staring intently at the start of the reg as it approached that I didn't clock the rest of it. D'oh! Was fully expecting it to be an A reg. Black or dark green in colour,it looked well at least. Saw it not far from Glenrothes in Fife,so anyone local,keep a look out! Cheers
