Title: Re: Vintage Cars Post by: Colchester Kev on October 08, 2008, 05:56:56 PM this site may help

Title: Re: Vintage Cars Post by: The-Crow on October 08, 2008, 06:04:29 PM Thats a getaway Car, seen it before
Title: Re: Vintage Cars Post by: Geo the Sarge on October 08, 2008, 06:08:45 PM Agree with it being British rather than American. With the Pith helmet and the fact they are non spoke wheels (possible dusty location), considered India and found this.......about 4 mins in though it is hardtop

thanks so far guys Title: Re: Vintage Cars Post by: TightEnd on October 08, 2008, 06:44:56 PM the DVLA would give you the history of the plate for a small fee
plate looks to be VP966. When registered, who to, when car tyaken off road etc etc alternatively ask MPOWER to find out, car dealers can access the database Title: Re: Vintage Cars Post by: Rookie (Rodney) on October 08, 2008, 07:15:13 PM Its a Ford Focus.
Title: Re: Vintage Cars Post by: Tonji on October 08, 2008, 08:19:16 PM I think it may be an Austin

Title: Re: Vintage Cars Post by: Colchester Kev on October 08, 2008, 09:33:40 PM this is a model T Ford

Head lamps look right too.

A 1925 Aries Open Sedan looks very similar, only the headlights differ as far as I can see. Title: Re: Vintage Cars Post by: The_nun on October 08, 2008, 09:59:16 PM I thought about that one too but what put me off was the missing spare on the side.
Title: Re: Vintage Cars Post by: Colchester Kev on October 08, 2008, 10:00:02 PM it might be on the other side :)
Title: Re: Vintage Cars Post by: The_nun on October 08, 2008, 10:04:00 PM Nope, just looked behind my screen and cant see fkall.
