I saw this in the car park of the Goodwood Members Meeting a couple of weeks ago. Clearly it is looked after and cherished. Mechanically (the bits I could see) looked to be in good order.To me it looked fantastic. Far more interesting than the immaculately restored examples nearby (although I liked those too). One of my cars of the weekend.

But the idea that this car hasn’t had extensive work and has survived like this since the early 60s is fantasy imho.
Today I was out, no excuse, the weather was good, a bit sun and wind, so there I went, some nice road to that place, also went a big part through Germany and then again in the Netherlands again, I did not know my navigation would took me there, but no borders and about 10km shorter.
at one point I thought hey, these are not Dutch houses
also many country houses, some live good away from big cities.
There was a oldtimer/youngtimer day in a small place called Klazienaveen, also with tractors and bikes and so on, at some big field, I did not stayed long and when I wanted to go back home, it became so busy that it was hard to get out... also many many people started to come in, say more tourist so parking on both ways of that small street, only one car could go through... but many happy faces I saw so it was good, I took 30 pictures of some cars, the first 10 I upload now, the next ten tomorrow etc.
Brommers kieken they say in NL, some people think they are forever young
also a nice Lancia Monte Carlo
There were no TVR, but there ws a beetle with some sort of TVR flip paint :-)

Does the owner have to pay the ULEZ charge every day as its parked on the road, or only on the days he drives it ?
If it were neither exempt nor compliant, then ULEZ is only charged if the car is driven.

But it would still be liable for the congestion charge if driven in that zone as there is no exemption for historic vehicles. Although apocryphally those cameras cannot read white on black plates. Not sure if that is true, but I did once forget to pay the charge in a car with black plates and never got fined.
How about white on no background 'plates?

Suddenly all the anachronistic white on black plates make sense.Gassing Station | Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
