Is this fire engine Steve Murty`s new version Landtrain that crashed at Brands Hatch back in 1989? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRNQug7TRgk (This scene was featured in Frontrunner Home Video`s "Stunt Mania" VHS) -- Last edit: 2011-12-10 02:34:26 |

^ In case you still want to know: Yes, it is. Rebuilt and now named 'Backdraft Wheelie Truck'. |

That's the registration date, not the manufacture date. This would be rather 1980-83 |

Q plates are issued for oddballs in the registration system, when some of the normally expected vehicle details are either uncertain or not available for whatever reason or combination of reasons; this often includes unknown date of manufacture. The date of Q plate issue is often unknown, although unusually in this case is recorded, but tells us nothing useful except the truck has to be pre-1989; if it was new in 1989, it would have been given a normal issue plate. |
