Although this film was shot later than 1904 because it was a Veteran Car Club event (from before 1939 probably). The vehicle details for AR 621 are: Date of Liability 01 11 2007 Date of First Registration 03 11 1932 Year of Manufacture Not Available Cylinder Capacity (cc) 4025CC CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type Petrol Export Marker Not Applicable Vehicle Status Licence Not Due Vehicle Colour BROWN Vehicle Type Approval null -- Last edit: 2007-03-28 11:29:25
