Not all words that end in --um have a plural ending in --a for example you never see the plural 'ba' do you?

1962 Austin A40 ?

http://cars.donedeal.ie/vintagecars-for-sale/hotrod-pickup-all-steel-2-0-auto-4x4/6899800?sv=1

I thought the A40 Farinas were in by '62.

hi5

It's the same one alright just 2 years older.

What part of an Austin A40 is it "loosely based on "

Not how I remember an A 40 when I was a pup,
am i missing something??

savagethegoat

it's built around the tax book

kadman

Handy.....

But I thought there were laws protecting the unsuspecting classic car owner??

Tzar Chasm

Therin lies the issue, any new owner is buying a 'ringer' however the original creator gets off scot free at this stage. Who do you report?

kadman

So its a case of classic owner , be aware.

Or for the purposes of buying a classic, regard it as guilty of ringing, until your own due

diligence, proves it to be innocent.

So is it fair to say....the ringer gets off scot free?

savagethegoat

if you did it in the UK you'd get it taken off you and if you got it back it would be on a Q plate where it belongs. Probably pretty uninsurable in Ireland anyway, being a commercial.

kadman

Rightfully so.

Is it fair to say that there are a fair amount of typical cars here?

Tzar Chasm

Would the correct classification be Kit Car?

Based on the chassis number of the original Kia

Didn't catch the full reg but l saw a W140 S-class Merc from 1992 to 1998 with a 9***ZT reg....

Type 17

S-class Mercs are easy to make elephants from, as the earliest model that was officially called the S-Class came out in '72, and the model name registered in the records is just something like 350SE or 450SEL, so a newer model can have the badges removed from the boot...

Laziness in the VRO doesn't help - my ('76, imported in 2010) 350SE is registered on the documents as a "Mercedes Other" - it would be easy to use its ZV reg on nearly any other Merc.

I've seen an R129 Merc (the SL from '90-'01) on a ZV plate which Cartell shows as a "Mercedes-Benz Unknown".

Even worse, according to Cartell.ie (and two other similar sites), 76-D-45 was never issued (no details found).

Edit, I've just noticed that the sales sticker in the rear window is a joke one, saying "Supplied by Arthur Daley" - highly appropriate.

no chance! I'll need it to rotate round the other cars here, and the bikes of course.. In fact I've a sixties Moto Guzzi here with no paperwork or reg that it'll be particularly useful for..:)

Same for mine. I'm not spending half a day or more in some Dublin City Council office in Smithfield or wherever.

I also have a "make unknown" "model unknown" here on a '96 Almera. Irish car from new. I never noticed it until the NCT guy pointed it out to me laughing that it could have been anything.

That 76 D w126 300se merc is two large fingers to the authorities. What a joke

was that a blue/black wagon on jacked up wheels? If so, I saw it on DD last night and thought there was something a bit whiffy about it..
