£5 0r £10 you will get copies of all keepers since the vehicle first appeared on the DVLA's system, including a copy of the log used to put it on!

DVLA came on stream 1971-1977, so it may have been on from new your never know your luck.

Absolutely, it just needs the old Logo on there with that big square a**ed "E". You never see any old Wales Gas vans around either, guess those guys killed them off.

Wasn't there also a "Caribbean Turquoise" about - being simply referred to as "blue"
doesn't seem right. Aye oop, talking twaddle AGAIN!

Yes twaddle indeed, you're thinking of the Galapagos tortoise and certainly not blue just big.

I think the MMOC are sticking to black engines for Austin LCVs - an idiot like me will never convince them otherwise!

You REALLY need to lay off the Horlicks!

Caveman when it comes to paint; light blue,mid blue or dark blue - as for Antelope
in the suburbs of B'ham, there are Antelope's in Africa, but NOT blue ones!

Ahhh...

Of course there would be a completely separate batch of black engines for all Austin badged LCVs. Makes perfect sense on a production line system.... Hah.
Surely its just a date thing, that the engines were black after a certain date regardless of the Minor they went into? As for that date, I'd be asking you...
