Tiger or Robin Hood?

[Whynot]

Original Poster back again,

Just to update you that I have found my new car! A 2004 built Tiger Cat E1 with a reconditioned Pinto. Really well put together and a grin enducing drive:



I'm going away on holiday so picking it up in three weeks. Can't wait!

Good choice from a fellow cat e1 owner...

Nice car, shame about the garage !

It may be a bit snobbish but I'd prefer to have a non-Q reg too...

Ooh I'm going to have to bite at this. Why is a Q plate less presigious than a plate that previously belonged to a rusty 20 year old Sierra?

Yesterday I finally received a Q plate for the Fury that I've been building for the last 5 1/2 years. You don't find all the best bits on one donor. Just my slightly biased opinion.

'Q' means not having to say sorry for emissions at MoT time! "Visible smoke, only"

I have a Q plate on my Tiger - I could have gone for an age-related plate as it seems the DVLA would have been happy to allocate one, but I just couldn't see the point - it's a kitcar, it's obviously a kitcar, so why is having the plate from an ancient Cortina better???

I'm happy with the 1983 Sierra plate it's got, adds an eliment of mystery to it.

It's a shame though because I have got 'L9 RPM' on a Volvo that is still taxed but will never see the road again it can only go on a post 1993 car.

Once a 'Q' always a 'Q', at least with this I could get a personal plate on it sometime in the future. Maybe chance it with retro looking (pre-1974?) black and silver plates.
