Q: hi there can this car go onto an 05 number plate as its unregistered many thanks chris
A: I beleive so, although it would be best to check with the DVLA first.

Surely thats crap. It would never meet emmsisions requirements

 

This is a good point!

 

That was my first motor way way back in 1985 when I was only 17, but mine was a 2 litre Ghia.

sorry about the double post passionfords gone tits up on me again, slooooooooow and pages not loading

 

 

Neither would a shonky old Sierra, but one made it onto a 2000 plate

 

a rare find indeed, and a quality and exceptional car but who the fuk in there right mind would pay that for a fukin cortina??? i mean what exactly did they do well

 

It would need an SVA test due to its age and the fact its not registered. It wont be possible to register it as new because of the new regs etc regarding safety, if you changed the car to conform then i dont see why not

 

I can answer that one,,,,

mine attracted all the teenage toty back in 1985.

 

hmmmmmm, so thats only 20yrs ago then

 

Thats really nice, collectable even

I can't see why it wouldn't be granted an 05 plate....would they not just test the engine via its engine code and not the plate age.

I mean you can have a 17 year old engine in a 5 year old car, and the engine will be tested according to its age.

Stil lvery nice none the less, a good chance to own a bit of motoring history, and without the rust and leaking back window :P

p.s Anyone noticed the bottle of lead replacement additive in the door card?

 

but what I forgot to mention is that i've hade no luck in that department since.

 

lol

 

pimpin' cortina

 

 

Sweeeeet

Has to go to a museum though, surely?

 

Oval circuit anyone?

 

To us younguns it seems difficult to belive there was a time when Ford showrooms such as that one and others were filled with this car and others like the capri, fiesta, sierra and now its all gone

 

Yep, i remember when i lived next to a ford garage, they had a moonstone 3 door sitting in the showroom brand new
Also remember the son of the owner having an escos monty too

 

I'd have loved to be back there, late 70's early 80's, just to see how it was. But then again, the oldens never thought twice about it, just like us now.

 

comes complete with a botle of lead replacement stuff in the passenger
door pocket

 

The pics in the showroom remind me of the Ford dealer in Meltham, Huddersfield, (where the misses is from) where there have a 2.8 Capri in red, a blue 1.3l Mk2 Escort, and a Gold 1.6 mk2 Escort 1.6 Ghia

Here is the ghia....

 

I dont believe it can go on an 05 plate, as its not brand new is it... It will have an age related plate more than likely IMO...

be different if they were selling a brand new shell, seperate brand new engine etc, with an invoice , but that will already have a vin number etc, so is just an old car which wasnt registered, unlike for example Y2K RS

 

But surely then cars would not be allowed to sit in a compound for 1 maybe 2 years then be registered as new? That make sense at all?

 

thats 5 mins from my house that is

 

Yep I did..THought it was a bottle of Sunny D

 

My misses parents live 2 mins from the Ford dealer from the Ford dealer, left down to crossroads, over 9by Lloyds bank) and 1st right. Here is a view of Meltham high street I took this xmas......

 

ahhh yes - meltham by snow - just down the road (head down that road in the picture) towards huddersfield, turn right just after the bus-stop then follow that road and there is a fantastic breakers yard - shitloads of fords in there


also, have you ever heard of Matamp (behind safeway and lightowlers yarns) - i used to work there when i left school, did about 4 months full time and about a year before that as a saturdayboy before i started an apprenticeship at holset engineering in huddersfield


woah, you missus parents - at the cross roads, go straight accross asif you are following the signs for greenfield, and then take the first right and thats a cul-de-sac - is it THAT road

 

Yes go over the cross roads, up Wessenden Head road, first right into Mile End (culd-e-sac), and its full of newish bungalos.

As you turn in to Mile End, there is a chap on the corner that has geese, ducks and the odd sheep in his garden. Looks like a scene from The Good Life!!

 

i know that exact road - one of our members on here lives there (a good mate of mine he is too), infact, you've probably unwittingly seen me

bottom right house there is a bloke called malcom - has a new fiesta - he works with me dad

 

Tis in derby that, gonna pop over and have a look

 

i grew up in huddersfield my dad used to have a brand new rs 1600i in white and his mate had a black one

 

bet you're glad you aint in huddersfield now - its a propper shithole

 

your not wrong hate the place my dad sold his 1600i to some rep dickhead left it outside runnin with the door open ran in the house and expected it to be there when he got back i was about 6 still wanted to go round n it got kept in a garage and used for several bank jobs then his mates black one got stole and used for the same thing ! i used to live on raw nook rd u know it

 

rawnook road - up by sallendine nook highschool, fooooooooking dump that place is - used to be a ncie area too

 

i know my dad had his own garage round the back of the house massive it was but had to move cos of complaints the garage is still there fit at least 5 cars in it wish we still had that though

 

its probably been turned into a house for the local councill scummers

 

no defo still there dunno what its used for though looks like a garage still if you drive down the back lane you cant miss it its massive if you go to the end goin away from the main rd turn right then right again in to the alley its half way down on the left wouldnt suggest takin the cossie down pretty bumpy if your ever passin take a look you will want the house just for the garage if you see it and there is a single garage at the back of the house you could prob get 5 in the big garage 1 in the single 1 in the back yard and 3 on the concrete in front of the big garage i wish i had it id be breakin rs's left right n centre
