Why, because they all think they are special?Wouldn't do me much good for a UK registered vehicle, though.

Why not do it. Yes after all that, really, why not!I've been mulling over what project I will do after I retire (shortly I hope). There are so many of these left in the world, you can get newly manufactured spare parts.

Yes. I've known several people over the years that have owned them, and even been on drives - you can understand what they are called "Chummy". It's a balancing act between what I could maintain, store, and if required, pop onto a trailer to get there and/or back. At 1m wide and 1.9m wheelbase, it's manageable. You can pick up renovated models herein Australia for around $20k.Is that an Austin 7.

The biggest issue is space. We only have a single garage. I could borrow/rent some garage space. I'm researching different options.Why not do it. Yes after all that, really, why not!

And it has to be a combo that matches a rego no newer than what your car actually is (for standard issued numberplates, you can tell what year a car is based on the numberplate) e.g., 24 = First reg, 74 = mid-year 24 reg. 64 would be 2014 mid-year reg and 14 would have been the first reg run that year.yes unfortunately in UK it has to be letters and numbers...
Before, in 1963, there was a letter at the end relating to the year it was first registered. e.g. T for 1979, N for 1974. In 1983 they ran out of letters of the alphabet , so the ” year” letter was moved to the front.And it has to be a combo that matches a rego no newer than what your car actually is (for standard issued numberplates, you can tell what year a car is based on the numberplate) e.g., 24 = First reg, 74 = mid-year 24 reg. 64 would be 2014 mid-year reg and 14 would have been the first reg run that year.

Always sad seeing saying goodbye to a car you really love, but it sounds like it’s going to a new owner who’ll give it all the TLC you’d be wanting them to.Sigh, my red Escort Cosworth if off to Tweed Heads, sad to see it go, but it will be given a new life with it's new owner. He already has 4!
Look forward to picsthe deal is that I get one of his Cossies, it's a former recce car that camevia Japan.
My other car is a basic Toyota Workmate ute which I bought new as a runabout 18 months ago. Perfect for nipping about running errands and picking up fallen trees for firewood that I see lying down when I am driving. It came factory equipped with anti-theft device, it's manual.My car got stolen from the car park at work... looking like a dork, I was walking around clicking the key LOL
After a lot of bs I got an old BMW X5
