Jim S Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Saw this on EBay today so thought I'd take a look. DVLA have it registered as a 1983 Talbot, which I feel is a bit strange. Does anyone know anything about it? Is this a pretend car as it's not got a roll bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Arnold Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Jim, look at the photos again. I reckon the reg is actually SUX 999Y. This vehicle is not recognised on Vehicle Tax website. However enter reg on Vehicle MoT website and it comes up as a red TR7 showing that MoT expired in 1982. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 There have been a lot of dodgy TR7 adverts on Ebay - usually for an aquamarine blue version from multiple sellers and addresses but exactly the same photo.... The pictures are strange - most shots taken in a museum (or similar) and the one on trailer reminds me of the disused European customs post we drove through on a 10 CR. No under bonnet or interior shots that couldn't have been taken from outside the car which made me suspicious. Seller is mainly given a good rating from his purchases so caveat emptor in my opinion Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howard Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Quoted from Pete Arnold- Jim, look at the photos again. I reckon the reg is actually SUX 999Y. This vehicle is not recognised on Vehicle Tax website. However enter reg on Vehicle MoT website and it comes up as a red TR7 showing that MoT expired in 1982. According to the MOT site it was last MOT'd in 2009 and is a red TR7. Previous MOT's only show the usual minor issues - lights, breaks etc but between 2006 & 2008 MOT's it covered precisely ZERO miles so either the speedo was disconnected or it was moved to the test centre on a trailer.

Jim S Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 Thanks for info guys, strange how SUX 999Y comes up on the Vehicle MoT website but not the government one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
