Who's is this ????

Weird how that happens - sitting around for all that time - but a glance at some WWII airfields proves it happens all the time. As I understand it, this is more to do with the economics of manufacturing than anything else. The story of the Avro Lancastrian is a great historical example too.

Related story: there were 180-odd Rover 200 Coupes built to Japanese spec and shipped out there. As the ship was travelling, Japan changed their emissions requirements meaning that these cars would not be legal to operate there. As a result, they were brought back home and sat in a field for some length of time.

In order to get rid of these Ā£18K cars, Rover offered them to staff and their families for the knock-down price of only Ā£11K.

All of these vehicles received a registration ending in FDH, and many still exist. This is partly because collectors think that they're in some way special and have done extensive restorations, ironically making them special in their own way.
 
Looks like another one for the scrapyard in the sky, says it has to be gone by end of the day, 1 week ago..
 
Luckily the MOT cert was correct, I guess going off the vin, but all the rest of the paperwork wasn't!
