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!

Cheer's, Frank!

It's intresting to note that LMP 116K plodded on until November 1984:

Hi Frank - can I quote you on that? I post on a DVD forum where the Doctor Who Restoration team lurk.

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 ...

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!

Back in the 1960's the dear old BBC used to make 16mm film copies from 405 Line TV shows - the 405 Line video tape was then wiped & reused - this also used to happen to some 625 Line colour video tape as well , with 16MM black & white film prints sold abroad to TV stations who did not have a colour ...

Did Mumford And Sons play at the reception afterwards?

FWIW, JBS 101S with CB radio "mag mount" antenna:

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

I'd love to get JBS 101S back, but I fear she is recycled beans tins by now, several times over!

I think for 18K, we should see a picture at least!

I remember having a leak which dripped all over the fuse box on JBS 101S & blew a few fuses!

The last Marina I saw "in the tin" as it were was around 2000 - there was an beige Ital estate seen daily about 6 years ago. I walked past a Minor on Monday morning!

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 ...

Great, I'll look out for that & bung up some scans for our oversea's readers!
