kudos ◊ 2011-09-10 22:54	Maxi?
rjluna2 ◊ 2011-09-11 02:17	Is that something similar to Hillman Imp?
chicomarx ◊ 2011-09-11 02:54	Plate might be UPT 762S / UYT 762S (/vehicle_431019.html) but I can't find anything. The Austin Maxi was Basil Fawlty's car: /vehicle_52745-Austin-Maxi-ADO14-1976.html
Sandie ◊ 2011-09-11 04:00	I'm definitely thinking along the lines of an Imp (hence my earlier comment) but if the 1977/78 registration is real then it would rule out the Imp which was discontinued a few years earlier.

dsl ◊ 2011-09-11 13:55	Sandie wrote dsl .. might weep into his marmite sandwich when he sees it. Floods of tears - salt mixing with salty. Can't offer anything for dating apart from wheels could be early. The only issued plate combination which could make sense against the pictures is UET with a K in Aug/Sept 71, from Rotherham which is across the M1 from Sheffield. -- Last edit: 2012-08-04 04:03:59

dsl ◊ 2021-01-27 05:09	The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
