Did you ever get anywhere unravelling the alternative ID, it would be funny if it was a massively desirable plate.....
Or one that isn’t so desirable, like SIC 1 :lol:

Start 2021

Fiat Doblo 1.3 Multijet
Royal Enfield Himalayan
Triumph Street Triple 675

End 2021

Fiat Doblo 1.3 Multijet which I have done 8500 kms in. Only expense has been diesel, although a service and two new front tyres to be done. No point getting rid, as its a wonderfully versatile thing.

Royal Enfield Himalayan. No costs except for E5 petrol (no E10 here)

Triumph Street Triple 675. No costs except for fuel. I absolutely hate the discomfort it causes me, had it for sale all year at a very cheap price without a single enquiry!

Joined by:

Honda Deauville 650. Took me 5000 kms to Czechia and back in 5 days. Longest day 10 hours and 947 kms. Bland as a bland thing, and the polar opposite of the Triumph

Yamaha 250 scooter. Cheap as chips, goes well. Now able to blend in with to.locals riding in shorts and t-shirt. Stupendous shopping bike.

A trailer. Cheap to buy and saves me having to put crap destined for the dump in the Fiat.

Old shite is hard find here, and is not cheap. and seeing as cars, whether running or not, have to be insured and taxed, makes the dream of a big fleet just a dream.

I have the same cars as I did five years ago with a few quid spent on each here and there.

Out- Jag x350 Sovereign. Sold to WBAC after nearly 3 years (mostly) trouble free daily service

In- Skoda Fabia 1.9tdi sport (!)……. Hoping for a few years frugal motoring

Non-movers-

No plans for any changes unless something really nice turns up at the right money……

I still have the Panda, which now has nearly 20000 miles on it. The MX5 finally went, I wasn't intending to replace it so bought the 1948 Alvis.

i still have the same number of heaps now at the end of the year that i had at the start of 2021.

that may change, in the new year as i am wondering if the old 75 is getting TOO old now at 21 years and 212,000 miles.

so, if i was to change the Rover for something else then a Jaguar X350 XJ6 is at the top of the list. because thats a good idea when petrol is £6.50 a gallon, and cos i am an idiot.......

I'm trying to end the year by buying another 405 but an estate. The trouble is the seller is virtually illiterate and now not responding to messages. BAH.

Edit.

He's finally got back to me so a road trip may be in order tomorrow, fingers crossed.

Started:
2000 Corsa B Envoy. Had it 11 years, sold when the below petrol Cavalier came up.
2000 Audi 80 Cabriolet. Non mover. Finally got an exhaust for it, goes well.
2007 Mini Cooper: Unreliable shitbox, finally got rid of it when it shat out all its coolant in McDonald's car park and had to get barred home by the AA.
2004 Rover 75. Non mover. Great car.

In and out
1993 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.8 LS. Brought back to life, restored and sold on at no profit
1993 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.7TD. Great car, preferred the petrol one though. Sold when the Saab cropped up.

End:
Audi 80 Cabriolet
Rover 75
Honda Civic 2.2 diesel - replaced the Mini.
Saab 93 Convertible. Too cheap and too local to say no, a lot of car for £350.
