Wonder what the 2900 engine is from?
I seem to recall a replica Ferrari based on a Nissan - could that be it ?te=TR4man]

Why did the quoting mess up ?
Looks okay in the edit box...........just another ph bug.

I know these are at a show but I wasn't sure where else to post them, I suppose here is as good as anywhere else, anyway here's a selection of golden oldies at the NEC this morning...
Those barn finds keep on coming...
Gorgeous little Fiat 124 Sport Coupe for sale at £15k...
Nice to see an SM on display...
Genuine Neville Tricket Minisprint...
Nicely restored Dino 308 GT4 up for grabs, I sat in it for a while and felt the driving position fitted me like a glove...just the thing for blasting across the Alps...
Almost toy like Series 2 Europa...
Nice recreation...
The shape never gets old...

How can it be a 1975 when it's showing a 'T' Reg for '78/'79 given that you cannot apply a new reg to an older car?Gompo said:

Seen in Stafford yesterday
Great spot!There's a 'Tourist' around here somewhere, I've got a couple of photos but I've only seen it a handful of times in the last 10 years.

So if this Rolls Royce was put straight into storage unregistered in 1975, or if it was exported abroad somewhere for the first three or four years of its existence, and was then registered in the UK for the first time in '78/'79, then the DVLA would have issued the car with a '78/'79 registration number and not a '75 number.
What you cannot do, is have a registration number that is newer than the vehicles first year of registration in the UK (although there are a few cases known where this has somehow happened)
So in the case of this Rolls Royce, although it was manufactured in '75, because its first year of registration was '78/'79 it can carry any registration number up to a '78/'79 "T" plate, but it cannot carry a number after the '78/'79 "T" plate.
