Theres a late registered Vectra ST200 in red I know of. The ST200's were preface Vectras and they changed to the facelift version on late T plate cars, but the last ST200 registered was S plate I believe. This Red one is on a W plate, and at first a few people thought it wasnt a gen ST200 because there was only about 50 made in the first place, but it turns out it was sat in a VX showroom unsold for years, hence the W plate used. I think its also the last red ST200 on the road, as I'm sure there was only 3 in total built and I'm sure at least one was written off and another one possibly stolen. Not quite retro metal yet granted

There is a D reg s1 escort rs turbo that is local to me !! I have made inquires as to its authenticity and it is the real deal. Rumour has it that there were 13 D registered Mk3 XR3i's, so a D plater Series one is perfectly feasible, albeit rare.

saw a 61 plate mgf (focus st orange) yesterday on the m61 sorry no pics Won't be late registered, but a Nanjing China MGTF built at Longbridge. They made just under a 1000 there from 2008 to 2011. There's a black one in Olney that's been for sale for about two or three years that is either unregistered or very recently registered too. Looks really nice but I guess people are wary of putting that much money into a Chinese MG.

Mk4 escort cabs carried on till a K plate while ford sorted out the Mk5's wobbly shell to get a cab that didn't twist, most of the ones i've seen had the earlyer (Mk3) chubb locks fitted instead of the normal Mk4 tibbie locks for some reason

I've got a 1975 vw 1303 beetle saloon, on a V Suffix.
I believe it's an S/A Import, which was imported in 79 though, which makes sense.

There's an S-plate golf rallye out there too, imported in 98 so I guess that's where the dvla got mixed up. Also a red D-plate mk1 golf gti

I'm sure there's an unregistered Capri 280 Brooklaands - (not including the very last Capri built which is owned by Ford)I do believe there's a G reg one which I think belongs to Dr Brooklands himself !

And yes it was real.... Mix up at the dvla after being imported from Ireland though rather than late registered . Been scrapped now so I'm told.

My mates 1969 Ford Galaxie.....on a 1990 G reg. can't quite get to the bottom of why either. He is sort of half heartedly trying to sell it so he can by his bosses El Camino. Pistonheads add
