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

You might be thinking of the 250 GTO replicas,which were 240Z based.



Why did the quoting mess up ?

Looks okay in the edit box.....confused......just another ph bug.

I thought the bumpers looked odd on the Dino replica but the correct period reg fooled me....paperbag
It's a 1997 car, so the plate is very much NOT "correct period"...

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?

A long way from home (Görlitz, in Saxony, almost on the Polish border). And strange to be carrying a DDR sticker 27 years after reunification.........

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.

It's a Shadow I if it was 78/79 it would be a Shadow II with the bigger bumpers.

Only seen it a handful of times? Presumably because all the other times it's been shrouded in blue smoke.....

nono You are incorrect on that!

The year indicated in the registration number denotes the first year that the car was registered for use on the road in the UK, not the year that the vehicle was manufactured.

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.
