BKL485L

Anyone seen/got Austin pickup BKL485L? Last seen in Bristol in about 1987 - a nasty red primer finish, sadly grew a hole in drivers footwell floor, and had to be sold as the rent was a bit more important...

No recorded on my register, that does not been that it does not exist!

This could be because I got the reg number wrong! Got it confused with my first ever car, SLG 485L ( A marina 1800 auto, BTW). However, I've just found the pic above, which reveals the right reg - BKL 335K

Doh!

Good grief! And I bought it out of a scrapyard for £20! It was in much better nick than 2 I'm working on now, but that was back when I was even poorer, couldn't weld and there were no shops selling panels etc. I found 5 or 6 photos (well. negs, actually. that's how they stayed hidden for so long), would you (or possibly the owner) want copies? Scanning them's no bother - hi res if anyone wants that! I'd love to hear how it is now - I loved that car, took me 20 odd years to get another P up...

PS my emails in my profile if you want it. The car had been lifted onto a pile of cars when I found it, using a chain through the door voids - hope they managed to beat the dents out! and it had another car on top of it... Ah, memories...

Wow! A success for the Do You Know? section! That doesn't happen often, but it's nice to hear about when it does!

Just goes to show how good the Minor LCV Register's database is!!
