HOW ABOUT THIS FOR A COINCIDENCE

Postby robv12 » Wed Mar 06, 2013 8:53 pm

most of those who know me, will know that come November eash year all the good cars come of the road until the end of March, so I spend October looking for a suitable cheap XJ to tool about in, taxed , mot'd, nothing special just in case Mrs J has an off road excursion again, so for the winter of 2012/13 I fell over this

a very late N reg 40, was a Daimler, but the po had all the Daimler trim and chrome for another car and put in a late 40 Jaguar inetrior, a good job too, even carpets and headliner changed to match, six months tax and ticket, cheap, just the job, I have to say drives like new, just beautiful, any way mot is one month away, so off it went today to get a 13 month mot, success, straight through, clean as a whistle and so solid underneath, a lovely lovely old car

any way getting home I go to file the new mot cert in the correct place, and have this horrible feeling that the reg number is wrong on the mot, why, well this why

its brother, consecutive numbers, this is a 3.2 Sov I owned last year, now if they were local cars to me then ok, but they are both Nottingham cars, and both bought from Birmingham, strange goings on!!

hadn't even realised until I fell over the copy V5 of the 300 in the file from the day I sold it
