| It has its moments. But this isn't one of them - shite weather, sterile ground. But as consolation fantastic freshly landed fish'n'chips, even though I'm only a couple of miles from Dounreay nuclear reactor (anyone for fission chips??). Haven't started glowing yet, but it's only a matter of time ... | 2023-07-03 23:31 | ||
| I shall do my best to honour the task bestowed upon me. However I'm at the top of the Scottish mainland monitoring a windfarm build and staying in a hotel with wi-fi which only works when it feels like it. So progress may be not be rapid ... | 2023-07-03 23:14 | ||
| Another L with sports wheels. | 2023-07-03 23:00 | ||
| L with sports wheels. | 2023-07-03 22:59 | ||
| Yes - Consul Corsair. | 2023-07-03 22:56 | ||
| 124 S2 [124B.2]?? | 2023-07-02 23:50 | ||
| Oooops .. | 2023-07-02 22:40 | ||
| Interesting brake lights at top of tailgate?? | 2023-07-02 03:48 | ||
| Agree 96+ for CHMSL and smoked light lenses. Badge on right looks like a word, suggesting Sterling as the only possibility - all lesser models got generic 800 badge without trim letters. | 2023-07-02 03:44 | ||
| To complete the blanks ... We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided MORRIS MINOR 1000 1967 Registration number: OWY 827E (West Riding, Yorkshire) Body type: Estate Colour: Green Date of first registration: April 1967 ... and there is a green mid-60s Moggie Traveller in this series, wearing a plate from a 1965 Minx ...... |

| CDN 345C was a 1965 Hillman Minx. As this series has an epidemic of number plate witchcraft, this might be .... We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided MORRIS MINOR 1000 1967 Registration number: OWY 827E (West Riding, Yorkshire) Body type: Estate Colour: Green Date of first registration: April 1967 ... as seen on the black A60. |

| We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided AUSTIN A60 1963 Registration number: 382 BRV Body type: Saloon Colour: Black Date of first registration: April 1963 Seen on this Popular 103E in Heartbeat. |

| The A60 is here under a different plate. | 2023-07-01 21:10 | ||
| I can take this on if no-one else to claim it. Would make it my next project, but can't do much for a few days so happy if anyone else wants to leap in and take it. If so, please make yourself known. | 2023-07-01 16:13 | ||
| How long did they make 2-door versions for?? Was there an early 2-door GXL?? | 2023-07-01 16:01 | ||
| I think it's been mildly Stroseked, which happened to some HK 928s, but not one of the wilder ones - still has factory wheels from 1988 S4 Clubsport or 1989+ GT - so Version I best fit, although not all the tweaks are present. | 2023-07-01 15:56 | ||
| Yes - the probable S bonnet badge above the wing badge is a big hint for a 90s Cooper S with one of the John Cooper upgrades, plus the 4 spotlights. But not sure which one - doesn't look like tints, so early 90s looks safer, which was Oct 91 Mini Cooper Si as a performance pack option. More editions appeared 94-96 and then 99-2000; if it has wide Sportspack arches and big wheels it's 96+, but these later ones usually had tints. So I'll stick with earliest possibility. | 2023-07-01 14:11 | ||
| Nothing listed for Subaru (as Fuji Heavy Industries) in Israel in World Cars 1972 (no overseas sites at all) and 1975 & 1978 (both say only one overseas site - Portugal - but no clue what was made). These World Cars lists are not bullet-proof but mostly solid; a made-for tag would be useful in case new info is found, so updates can be made. |

| 1978+ bumpers?? | 2023-07-01 12:37 | ||
| I've found the track - it's Goodwood (<= pic from 1957 Glover Trophy). But the Goodwood events in wiki's list of Type 15 appearances don't match the various racing nos - unless it's the 1953 Glover Trophy where they don't have an entry list, but that may be a dead end as well. This online pic of BRM #5 is described as 1953 Glover trophy ![[Image: sixties_f1_goodwood_20081502.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/sixties_f1_goodwood_20081502.jpg) ... but isn't. However if the #9 Maserati behind is the same #9 seen behind #5 above, it's the same Goodwood event. My brain hurts now. |

| Oh bullocks. NOI 6709/8709 was Belfast, Dec 76 to July 77, so a plain GTL manual (arrived UK April 76) with grey plastic bits instead of black. | 2023-06-30 23:26 | ||
| Probably BXI 6556, Belfast, Oct 82 to April 83; first 83# was 3409. | 2023-06-30 23:19 | ||
| Glass's says this series introduced UK March 79 as 1400 GLX 3 door, 5 door added June 79; 1200 added March 81 as GL and then EL. 1200 never available as 5 door. Jan 83 - both versions renamed Mirage (1250/1400 as appropriate). This is 3 door, and with reflector/fog inset in bumper - compare 1980 1400 - I'll take a punt for 83+ Mirage. | 2023-06-30 23:08 | ||
| WOI 6243 was Belfast, very late 1980 - series was June 80 to Feb 81 with 1st 81 # being 6850. So much newer than the vehicle for whatever reason. | 2023-06-30 22:57 | ||
| TGW 235M was Central London, Aug 73, black Austin 2520cc diesel, ✗ Untaxed Tax due: 1 November 1984. So now we know where defunct London taxis go to die. | 2023-06-30 22:50 | ||
| If MOI 2882, = Belfast, May-Dec 76. | 2023-06-30 22:40 | ||
| EOI 9582 was Belfast, April-Dec 72. Probably 850 - small hubcaps, plain window rubber. | 2023-06-30 21:32 | ||
^ That looks a useful site  |
2023-06-30 21:27 | ||
| Hotspur. HB listed as Army "A Vehs 1980/81". | 2023-06-30 21:09 | ||
| Colt Mirage?? | 2023-06-30 21:07 | ||
| I think black bumpers/trim was GTL Automatic only, which was a Sept 79 intro in UK. | 2023-06-30 21:05 | ||
| Marina Mk2, probably Super for side strip. | 2023-06-30 21:01 | ||
| DIW 3323 = Coleraine, Dec 79. Details match 79 Popular. | 2023-06-30 21:00 | ||
| CA ambulance, probably Mk3. Can't get a 60s plate combo from F/P + D/O + I to fit. | 2023-06-30 20:50 | ||
| Was blue grille badge 5E?? Nice alloys and lots of headrests suggests a good trim level. | 2023-06-30 20:39 | ||
| DIW 8509 = early 81 Coleraine. Looks mid-spec, probably HLE. | 2023-06-30 20:37 | ||
| I'd guess it is powered - otherwise you don't need the steering wheel, seat (which looks like a double) and other controls. No idea if electric or engined, but there's 2 of them in the wider shot. JBT seem to make similar electric things today (from here) but no doubt lots more possibilities. | 2023-06-30 20:07 | ||
| Early bumper, looks like designer plate but not readable. First 164s in UK Jan 69, Oct 69 fogs fitted in UK instead of horn grilles. Might have Oct 71+ recessed door handles. | 2023-06-30 17:47 | ||
The only solid claim I've seen for Israel Ford builds is Escort from 1968 to about 1981 (Mk1-3) - nothing for Cortinas (or Transits, which seem to have been popular there). I guess the link was always with Ford UK rather than Germany - one unusual consequence was LHD Cortina Mk5s for Israel which I don't think happened anywhere else from European Mk4/5 production (even though these may well have been rebadged TC2/3s from Genk rather than Dagenham builds) apart from Portugal which assembled both Mk4/5. Some bits of Europe got LHD Mk3s, but I don't think there were many places or high numbers.![[Image: dscf0892candc.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/dscf0892candc.jpg) ![[Image: dscf5506comp.1.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/dscf5506comp.1.jpg) (cheap Altaya partwork from a few years ago) Also noted that captured Mk3 has no grille badge so poverty base spec - no luxuries for the Israeli police! |
2023-06-30 14:32 | ||
| Hadn't realised there was a small light longnose phase! | 2023-06-30 14:17 | ||
| Mk3 Sept 71+, so probably Austin although Morris is possible; there were no Mk3 Morris saloons in UK because the Marina had arrived, but the Traveller continued on its lonesome for a few months until April 72 (UK) and April 73 (some export markets) to fill gap before Marina Estate arrived. Austin ended June 74. | 2023-06-30 11:58 | ||
| Probably GXL. | 2023-06-30 03:46 | ||
| Israel used Cortinas as police cars until Mk5. | 2023-06-30 03:45 | ||
| Main is early XL, thumb 74+ and possibly another XL. | 2023-06-30 03:42 | ||
| Could be a 69-70 H plate, but looks LHD so maybe not its original date although I think it's a longnose. | 2023-06-30 03:39 | ||
| 2 Mini Mk3s, both likely 1000 for chrome trim. And another further back. M plate on right = 73-74. 2nd thumb is another Mk3. | 2023-06-30 03:35 | ||
| Mk2, looks bulky below bumper so likely 3500. | 2023-06-30 03:30 | ||
| Commer camper. | 2023-06-30 03:23 | ||
| CYM 895H = SE London, Feb-March 70. | 2023-06-30 03:21 | ||
| Vertical grille trim = Super Deluxe. | 2023-06-30 03:19 |
