Was it in the correct colours??

As said, I wasn't able to give it my full attention unfortunately but it did look very much like that. It was the colour that prompted my reference to the Cream Cracker cars... probably find now that it was an Austin Seven special in Olde English White that hadn't been washed for a bit...

The DVLA may not have done, the owner might have just bought an old plate.

All taxes/import duties have been paid and is fully registered/MOT'd and Taxed with DVLA and (very importantly) is registered as a 1940 Ford Woodie, so the Road Tax is free and has an age related plate.(891 YUG) It is also registered in the States (Utah) as a 1940

Ah. If it is as you describe, then skullduggery has to be suspected.

Related to what age?
My friend has a yug - it's a cross between a yorkie and a pug.

Just needs a bit of peanut butter on that front bumper.

Is that one of those it-shouldn't-work-but-it-does techniques to get black plastic black again?
Edit - just googled it...
Wow!
That's crazy, but I'm going to have to try it now!

Just buy peanut oil, then you won't have to wipe off so much gunge!

Off to the shop to buy some own brand PB right now.
....and who the hell thought of that?

You lot new here?
One thing, if you're intending to use it on the interior you'll have to ask all your passengers if they're allergic

Not sure if this belongs here but.....i took a wrong turn,i did a lot of that,and went into

an industrial estate to turn round and saw this





I had to stand on the concrete wall to take the pics as the metal fence above had too small

gaps to poke the camera through.

Qualifies cos it's an Abarth, too, surely? (from before that was 'just' a badge on cooking Fiats)

There was a very tidy Simca 1000 [rear engine thing] parked next to this Mehari every time i passed

EXCEPT the time i stopped for pics..

I followed this on my way home from work this evening;



It was an Escort 'Bonus 90', whatever that means!

90 BHP. 'Bonus' was a trim level...one up from 'Popular'?

Here's one for sale...

ETA: 'Bonus' was a trim level between 'Popular Plus' and 'L'. You could have the Escort Bonus with a 1.1 or a 1.3 petrol 4 pot with a 4 speed manual box only. I think the 90 was the 1.3...
