Yes, I guess we'd better let this get back to vehicles spotted.

Love your tale of the buses though
RAF did it all the time during WWII while rebuilding wrecked aircraft, but I think there was a bit of a rule that the section which carried the manufacturer's plate was the ID of the rebuilt aircraft.

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

Sorry, back to today’s sightings. A grey 70 saloon j reg with shabby paint. In my drive as usual.

Sunday - M6 Southbound at Tebay Services and later came zooming past us on the motorway - dark blue 'F' suffix saloon, had the Newton Commercial seats fitted in leather, very, very tidy car.

a 4-door saloon 7 LMF,came bombing by me on the A43 yesterday,then caught up with 3 Travellers heading towards Northampton..then saw a 2-door saloon on the M1

no idea where they were all heading

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... Morris FG drop-side truck. Circa 1962. Borgward Isabella TS 2-door saloon. Rare right-hand-drive UK spec car. Circa 1959.

Lovely day at Kelsall Steam Fair

Yes just the opportunity for a pleasant congestion free drive, there should be more football on tv------ oh hang on there is!

Classics as far as the eye can see, Moffat high street last weekend

hmmm..looks like a row of broken down old vans there

Load of scrap, we dumped them down the Devil's Beef tub

Spotted today in the car park at Kidderminster (Network Rail) Station. Paintwork a bit faded but looked rust-free

Saw this split screen in east London the other day, looking a little sorry for itself... Further down the same road was this... also looking a little sorry for itself but still quite impressive! This Tuesday happened to be in Bedworth for work and saw this Standard 8. Yet again looking sorry for itself.
If only there was enough time, money and garage space!

Glorious day at the Cheshire Steam Fair... John
