I'm still ashamed of the things that went on last time I had one of those

[Lonestar]

I've owned (briefly) 2x P reg cars. The Rover in 2010, and the Daewoo in 2012. Both sadly long scrapped.

I definitely do have a vast collection of terminally rusty fodder.

Here’s my only P reg:

With all these Ps about, is there a yellow sno warning?

I'm ending up with pairs (manufacturer-wise anyway!) as well...

Two Toyota's (Hilux Surf and the Hiace Camper), two Audis (A8 and the Coupe), two Trabbies, and two Mazda's (the 323, RX8).

I only have one Rover (P4), so there's a dangerous anomaly that must be balanced by the acquisition of another maybe?! 🤣

I love seeing stuff like that still in service.

Looks a really clean example. I wouldn't bat an eyelid if it was wearing a 13-plate registration.

Check the mileage out!

Which end does the P have to be? 😅

[kevins]

we have a p plate eunos, doesen't drive like its 30 years old! Use it pretty much every day outside of winter.

[vaughant]

Do you know I've had loads of "n" (all prefix) reg stuff over the years but I don't think I've ever had a P? How odd? Maybe a MK4 fiesta but I can't be certain. 

Had at least 3 n reg fiestas, probably the same with escorts. Loads of r and s reg stuff but p really has eluded me at the moment.

Had a M and S reg pug 306, deffo an n reg escort van.

Ah hang on, maybe a P reg Astra estate, let me check they made that model then otherwise it was a R reg.

Had two N reg ones of those as well 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣, and a N reg Corsa iirc.

[vaughant]

Pretty sure it was a p reg 1.8 16v sport estate. Must double check 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[Schaefft]

The forum moon mileage XJR6 and XK8 convertible I owned were both P-reg cars, so was the Citroen XM and my first E39 540.
