COOL CLASSIC CAR SPOTTERS POST!!! Vol 2
Discussion
On Thursday last week as I was heading down the A1 to kent I saw 4 different Hillman Imps at various points in my journey, then on saturday I saw a very nice looking (and sounding) red Daytona in Brighton and a car transporter carrying half a dozen fiat 500s (proper ones not the modern ones) and what looked like a BMW 3.0cs

However! I'm reading the plate as "KGV 275V" - and DVLA/cartell.ie are both showing it as a 1980 "WINGET". Red in colour and showing as a diesel, but with no engine size or revenue weight stated. Untaxed since 1986 with no MOT details available either. KGV 215V doesn't show up at all as a Marcos. Not that historical DVLA records for low volume marques are to be treated as Gospel

KGV215V comes up as a Mini Marcos though - the centre digit looks a bit too vertical for a seven. Perhaps a reserved range for kit cars or "special" vehicles? A Winget search comes up with a digger manufacturer.droopsnoot said:

...and motorised baggage trolleys (think 1950s railway station trucks). DVLA won't furnish any details of a Marcos under KGV 215V, but yes, cartell.ie have it showing as correct for that plate. Confusion possibly down to the Mini-Marcos being built by D & H Fibreglass Techniques Limited, not Marcos themselves, between 1974 and 1981.

If you don't see an American car about every hour then you're having a bad day..
