Was a common sight around the paddocks of the UK for a while as it was owned by truck and bike racer Steve Parrish
I didn't think that was ever issued - DVLA says number not found so if it was issued has it somehow been Car_Nut said:
Thanks for this - won't see crowds of sea frolickers or parked cars here any more, as this area is now closed off from public access. Do we think early 1950s?
When did that happen? They barred access to the breakwater, but this car park was still operating last November.As for naughty numbers I thought a glamour model had that plate seen above? Fiona Richmond iirc.

Sorry, rather opaque comment, was referring to the breakwater & the beach. Only visit Newhaven infrequently, and am thus no expert, but have never seen that car park with more than a few cars in it.As for naughty numbers I thought a glamour model had that plate seen above? Fiona Richmond iirc.
The Porsche 914 is unveiled to a slightly unimpressed public in 1969.... what appear to be Fuchs style alloys are actually pre-production trims fitted to four bolt pattern steel wheels, for some reason they were not put into series production....
I have a theory that these were used on the Ed Straker car in 'UFO' with perhaps some modification to make them fit onto the Ford wheels it had. Porsche supplied three cars to the production team in '69 for product placement, a very early 914 which was probably the first one in the UK, and a pair of 911s, namely a white Coupe and a red Targa.

White police Rover centre picture has the out of period vinyl C pillar of the yet to be born Mk2 plus 3500 S wheel trims yet has a MK 1 grille. That makes it unwatchable for me, I am afraid.
I am no expert on Rovers - but surely that is a Rover 3500, judging by the air scoop under the bumper?OLDBENZ said:
