Spotted today.

There’s a similar problem with GPO BSA Bantam motorbikes from the days of telegrams. The GPO had a system of fleet numbers painted on the tank and as long as the fleet number and number plate tallied they didn’t bother about the serial numbers. They’ve survived in quite good numbers but if one is barn found with an old RF60 log book it is likely that nothing will agree and DVLA will not allow retention of the original number as they don’t recognise the fleet number.

Thread drift or what ?......I'm sure this thread is titled "spotted today" ?

Yes , indeed, so to get it back on track (although, ironically, it wasn't today but last Saturday

) I spotted a nice, old, black early 1000 (with trafficators) parked near to Truro Rail Station. It had a Cornish registration number too - *CV

Waggon & Horses, Stourbridge Road, near Kidderminster. Monthly car meeting today. Rather sparsely attended... apparently there's some football match today which is of importance

These two caught my attention...

This Tuesday happened to be in Bedworth for work and saw this Standard 8. Yet again looking sorry for itself.
