dsl ◊ 2013-10-22 01:01	Now I've found a decent J4 for this series, I'll dump all the others here as well. This is Tosker's van through ep4, so lots of sightings. To me this looks a 1970 or thereabouts Austin Morris - front badge, colour, Leyland logo on rear - maybe even a bit later (but it's a "1970" episode, so it's all a bit wobbly). However the unconvincing "1965" C plate turns out to be genuine for a Morris - DVLA details for RHR 94C are: Date of Liability 01 02 2006 Date of First Registration 06 01 1965 Year of Manufacture 1965 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 99999cc CO₂ Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker Y Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour BLUE Vehicle Type Approval Not Available - some wobbly info such as engine size, and RHR was not a period issue with C suffix, so I think a re-registration for some reason with duff data input. So sticking with what can be seen, not the DVLA drivel in this case.

Plate is confusing - 312 DVX was a 1955 issue (so too early) and now on a Golf R32; 312 OVX never issued. 3] ep2 45-21, 2* as a Vice Squad van full of policemen: 4] ep 4 53-00, 1* camper - unfortunately this is the only view
