found this - what is it and how much for the plate?

[petemurphy]

My uncle has this under a bush at his farm! - what is it - is the plate worth anything?

thanks

[randlemarcus]

Might be a bit tricky getting that through the MOT, so that makes selling the plate a no-no, sorry.

rusty is what it is,

[LukeSi]

Tires still have plenty of tread so that is one less place it would fail

Knackered.

Wow a proper old Honey Kart. Do not open the tank!

Anything you transfer a plate off of must be have a valid MOT ..... great shame as there are some fantastic plates thar are sadly VOID as the cars are not fincancially viable for the worth of the plate.


That looks to be Military though ?

Surely it's a Lancia of some sort. Mid 70's probably

Think you're right! Vaguely remember it as a Dinkie Toy - though as a flatbed.
Father (wartime RAF) used to refer to them as Lavender Wagons, presumably because of the fragrance wafted about when they emptied airfield septic tanks.

Well.. The posts above yours state that they were used to empty septic tanks, so

[gowmonster]

ahh, missed that bit! I see now

[MrReg]

The plate is worth less than it would cost to get back on the road I'm afraid.
