HartyBeats ◊ 2023-09-11 01:33	Is there any chance this car could be THA781 1953 Austin A135 Princess Mk II, which appeared with the real registration number clearly visible in at least two other episodes of Heartbeat? www.flickr.com/photos/drewgrant/30708394065 Link to "visionmotorservices.co.uk" Link to "visionmotorservices.co.uk" Link to "visionmotorservices.co.uk"

Noted that that one - probably THA 781 - can chameleon-like change its grille surround from shiny chrome to body colour black depending on its mood HartyBeats wrote Link to "visionmotorservices.co.uk" Link to "visionmotorservices.co.uk" This must be a Black Day if it's the same A135, for which body colour surrounds were its natural complexion. -- Last edit: 2023-09-14 11:54:46
