Wow, cool.

That's a great looking old car, never seen one before. Is it a real Merc or have you put the grille badge on sumfink else?
It is, believe it or not, a 560 SEC!

1990 pillarless coupe - C126 model. Effectively the 80s S Class coupe.
Here’s one

There's some very typical DM comments:

Large speed humps will slow them down a little.
Erm, slow them down from a snail's pace you mean ?

Very distinctive. thumbup

I've only ever seen one white 560SEC with a bodykit like that.

Back in 1990/91 I joined a 10-pin bowling team in Basingstoke with a guy called Bob and the 3rd member of our team had a white 560SEC that looked just the same.

For the life of me I can't remember the owner's name, but if it's you please send me a message!

I’ve bought my first ever private plate today.

It’s very, very specific to the region I live in but everyone I’ve showed it to has loved it. When you’re from my region, many people are proud to be a ‘Camborne Boy’ the Camborne postcode is TR14, so I give you…..



Yes yes, if you have to explain it, it’s a crappy plate but when seen locally it won’t need explaining! Now all I need is a car that new to actually put it on!

My old e36 came with R34 LHO on it, kinda spells REAL HO. (Not that I would mispace it, as that is council).

For the £80 it costs I put it on retention, if I get a bike one day, I might throw it on to enable a smaller plate.

In the same vein as Penryn Plastic who have TR10 PVC.


A couple of retro style Cornish plates on retro style vehicles.

My two.

When I was a young boy I saw PGA 1V for sale in the back of auto car for £700 and pleaded with my dad to buy it to no avail.

Years later I established PGA 1X had never been issued and after 2 years of badgering DVLA they issued it for auction. Sadly I had fellow bidders and went for more than I would have liked but happy with the purchase.
