Re: Wobland Spottage
That's my mate Ed's old 4/90. Why oh why has the new owner removed the lovely original (peaked reflective) number plates and replaced them with that modern crap? Shame. I thought at least he would have taken the Reliant Robin door mirrors off and replaced with something more appropriate by now.NorfolkNWeigh wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 1:01 pm C38A5D6C-2026-4932-BB8F-2E5C0AFB75B6.jpegv195F84F0-288E-49F0-A494-A20381CC4375.jpeg
Spotted at MK station this morning, glad I volunteered to pick the Mother-in-law up now.

A connection with the base vehicle of both that and the Rio is of course Michelotti.....Did he pen that Moretti, too?Eddie Honda wrote: ↑Fri Apr 26, 2024 1:24 pm

Re: Wobland Spottage
That just for starters, what an earth was he thinking putting a reflective front and non-reflective rear on the car?

Re: Wobland Spottage
I'm quite surprised by the amount of owners that, after the DVLA fucked up and sort of made them legal, rushed out and replaced their original reflective plates on their 1973-1980 classic vehicles with black and white plates in the mistaken belief that it somehow makes their vehicle cool. It does not, it kind of jars, well with me anyway. It just doesn't look right. I'll not mention the wankers that have black and white plates on their post-80 vehicles especially those that happily have them featured in a magazine for all to see. A friend used to work in the Peterborough/Peatboghorror DVLA offices when they had such a thing and she said that when she attended car shows she would ask the owner of an offending vehicle about their illegal plates. If they were polite she would advise them about the legality and to get them changed, if they were rude she'd tell them to get the plates changed and have the vehicle inspected.
