Never seen an auto celeb before...

If I'd have known it was in Hampshire I'd have gone and had a look for you


More than happy to check out stuff down here, just let me know

Don't go there - I know it's very appealing in terms of collecting up as many accessories and options as possible (that's what I do!) but in this instance my advice is to read what aidanmorris said about it and give the blind a miss. There are enough rattles in a 480 without adding to then ten-fold...

Payment sent by bank transfer this afternoon, seller has ended the auction so now there are 3. Here was me originally thinking we could maybe save 2 or 3 a year :rofl: Mind, it might take Jeff a year to get over these 3. :lol: I am really pleased this one has been saved, especially given the colour...

So this car is secured?

Ooh, that's very interesting...

Petrol Blue as well! that's a rare colour, and sound like it could just be a MAP sensor issue as well

That's a real shame as a stickler for originality :( , I find plates to be vital. Take the pre-2009 french plates, I get really excited whenever I see a french car with a black numberplate still, as they often got phased out, but my french friend has explained a plate is now able to stay with the c...

Well as long as you are happy! :hopping: P.S. Just looked back through the thread and your Info Centre switch is in remarkable condition! Why thank you! It has never given me trouble, and so long as I explain that it is an original feature, shouldn't be an issue on the driving test! I was explainin...

Yeah I initially didn't like it, but after seeing it on some period Renault 21s, decided I'd give it a go, as it's something a little different, but looking at the pictures of the car when it came out of the barn, it doesn't seem to be that far of, it seems the figures F69 NLP seem to be the most 'n...

They made it even more complicated here in Netherlands, because cars which were registered after 31-12-1977 MUST have the 2001 (and current) style of plates (with blue Euro-band on the left, different font and with "controlled issue", if you lose a plate or they get stolen, you'll get a small seria...

Thanks David, I was unaware of your profession and I am very grateful of the advice. It would be similar to our 1943 Jeep not having seatbelts but being entirely legal, as it was never fitted with them. I certainly feel that Numberplates set off the look of a car, as such choosing a period correct ...

Put simply, any number plate that does not follow the set font and spacing (and I'd need to check up what these are) is not road legal. So that mock-up certainly isn't - sorry. Reasons are that the sight test criteria for driving is based on an ability to read a standard number plate, and police/Hi...

https://i.postimg.cc/nrYgJNx8/383233-rear-plate-url.png I have decided to make some new plates for the Volvo as my current ones display the sub-par 2001+ font. I chose to go a little different by using the Serck font (or as close as I could get) which would be a nice touch. I assume this is perfect...

The latest was a nice looking F reg ES at Mathewsons on the 22nd. I don’t know what it fetched though.
