Today, I gave a chap a lift to pick his car up from a garage in the middle of nowhere. It's mostly a Mercedes operation, but there's often the odd interesting item there.

This old Rover today.

A ZV plate is issued to vehicles that were over 30 years old when first registered in the state - it means that they can have a number that 'looks right' and have black plates, too.

There's one the same colour that I see from the bus into town, 1st or 2nd Avenue I think.

I'll check the reg next time I go past and see it's this one or just a doppleganger.
Yes, one looking the same used to frequent my street, but I've not seen it on a while

There is an immaculate mustard one* about, although I haven't seen it for a while - the rear wheels stand out on the one above, my previous conversations with the driver suggested that it had only been back on the road this year, after a long hibernation.

* I was so dazzled by that one, that I only recorded the engine bay.

I had a blue two door one years ago, paid £35 for it. Ran it for a year and sold it to Mc Guinesses for £35. Hated it, never washed it once.

He (ex) always wanted the 2 door version, but his Dad persuaded him to get the 4 door, because he might meet someone and want kids one day, and he didn't want to be faffin about moving seats to fasten a little un in the back. Obviously a year or so before I entered his life.
