Re: Highway Code 2022
When it first came out in 2022 the shops were full of imitations - apparently authorised but all at a higher price than the official one which I could not find anywhere at that time. My first experience of official road training was the Met Police demo given in the street to the pupils at my primary...

Highway Code 2022
Decided it was time to replace my 1987 Highway Code with the new one. Sadly lost my Ernest Marples version many moons ago. In 2022 when the latest version came out there was lots of bruhaha in the motoring press & elsewhere claiming it as anti-motorist and pro-cycling. Much was said about the "1.5m"...

Cheeky Santa Cover pic on Old Mag
This front cover photo from Dec 1996 caused some flurries in committee :D Mag-cover_Dec-1996-comp.jpg The Editor reported he received an anonymous letter complaining about it. Two of the committee then objected "feeling there is no place for this in a car club magazine" So - 3 members out of >1200 :...

Re: Austin 12 New Ascot Cabriolet 1937
Brian My apologies. I think I have a different meaning for "fuss" probably due to my age & upbringing. I meant don't worry about it. Did not mean to patronise. Almost all parts are common with the New Ascot which means that rarity is not a problem. The New Ascot Cabriolet is a very nice car and I am...

Re: Austin 12 New Ascot Cabriolet 1937
Its impossible to say. They are relatively rare. Like all Austin cabriolet they combine the benefits of a saloon with that "open air" feeling. The parts of course are common to the saloon. Don't fuss about "rarity" - just enjoy.

Re: YRU 235 10/4 2 seater & dickey
I once had a 1963 car that was imported from Belgium and had been given a 1970 Reg. No. Was fine as far as I was concerned until it failed its MoT for not having seat belts fitted - an exemption for a '63 reg but not for a later one!

Re: YRU 235 10/4 2 seater & dickey
Guy That would explain it. A better No. than some of the 1950s Scottish numbers that DVLA dish out as "Age-Related Reg. Nos". The law on registrations has recently been updated and now it is illegal to have a registration No. that is younger than the car. Probably to discourage "passing off" of old ...

Re: YRU 235 10/4 2 seater & dickey
The car is recorded by DVLA as currently taxed. It still appears to be blue & black as recorded on the ATDC database but unfortunately the current owner is not a member. It appears 3 times in the database which, assuming your dad was a member of the club, means that at least two subsequent owners we...
