Re: Good news on black and white registration plates

Another Silver/white figures on black plates hater here - fine on Pre 1973 vehicles but not on anything after that year.

I also hate those pressed plates from 1981 with the strange font, luckily, they did not last very long!

Re: The Marina - as seen on TV

My money is on the Dr who Marina as being Wild Moss - a dark brown. The only other contender for a 1972 car (standard wiper pattern) is dark blue.Black tulip cars and mallard green cars all had light coloured seats, and the car in the pic appears to have dark seats probably black.

Well, "Invasion ...

Re: Gary's Mumford in Classics Monthly

I know I always moan about this, but how do people get away with black & silver plates on a pre 1972 car? They are illegal don't you know! :wink:

Back in 1981, whenever we saw the yellow "Busby Vans" we used to hide all our illegal CB radio equipment! :P

Re: Marina on ebay...feel a top gear moment

It would seem that this guy has been bombarded with complaints and has therefore had a change of heart about breaking this Marina. I can see why he wanted to do it and, to an extent feel a little sorry for him. He has lost a leg and wants to continue driving his Morris Minor. Each to their own but ...
