A Silver TVR Tuscan 2 (even with a personalised TVR plate). It was quite nice as I was walking between two traffic lights in heavy traffic alongside it.

Nice noise.

I saw this Rolls the other day, I like to know what kind of licensplate it has.
It starts with two red letters that I think was SE, SV or TV after that five or six grey numbers. Any ideas?

Looks like a 1976+ Italian plate

I liked these old Italian plates :smile: I remember a Polistil VW Scirocco with such plate, that I had when I was a kid (well I still have it)

Yes, it's an italian plate: SV = Savona (SE doesn't exist)

was behind an Irizar bus tonight

Tour buses to/from Mexico are not uncommon in Texas (Austin, where I live, is about 250 miles from the border) but most I've seen are older MCI or Prevost and registered in the US. I've never seen an Irizar before. This one has a plate from Mexico state.

Stop teasing us, Sandie, and carry your camera with you at all times! :grin:

I had it with me today.

Best I could do.

Is this ex-German police?

Don't see these much any more. Still licensed according to DVLA so someone must be fixing it up.

Always the same, you will hear in the forums :tongue: Me, too, when I tell the newest sights in my plate-collector-forum, and some guys are complaining, that there are no photos. Some hardcore-plate-spotters (car-spotters, too) have always a camera with them, even when they are buying bread at the next corner.
Me not, sorry for that.

@Sandie: yes, a former police-car, where the green tape was not completely removed. Surely the Passat has some stopped up holes in the roof, or?

THe VW is not a 1200 L. It's a 1968-71 1300 (no banana-vent, no vents on the hood). The 1200 was totally different back then. So the colour is not original. It looks a bit like "my" türkismetallic [L95B], but it's more intensive. And "türkismetallic" appeared for the MY 1972 - where the 1300 had the vents.
I'm also not convinced, that the seats are original, too.
08/03/2011 @ 20:58:26: Ddey65: interesting/funny/special cars sightings



The two "Unknown US cars" are a 1972 Ford Torino, and a late-1960's Ford Fairlane or Torino GT.

It's a 1192cc that's why I thought it was a 1200. The plate is of may 1969

Thanks; the 2nd is rather a Torino GT since it has a GT badge in the middle of the grille :ddr555:

On a car selling website I found this Truck: http://pictures2.autotrader.co.uk/imgser-uk/servlet/media?id=1595992751

It's listed under Isuzu and described as a TF look-a-like but I don't think it is a Isuzu... TT Fortigo is also in the description... I have searched TT Fortigo and have found only results for this truck or another similar blue one for sale at auction.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Mirrors, doorhandles, side trim and indicators reminds me a Gonow GA200 but the front is different:

Parked next to the yellow Ford is a ‘60s era designed classic ’73-‘80 GM rounded-line pickup (or utility), likely a Chevrolet. It’s wearing the factory "Rally" wheels.

Yes, it's the yard of US cars dealers... some months ago there were 3 El Camino, now there are these cars:

The red Chevy/GMC pick-up barely visible on the left; then two Volkswagen T1 with a plate that I cannot identify; a Ford Galaxie (unknown model year :whistle: ) from California and a Dodge Caravan from California too:

There are lots of other Isuzu pickup clones in China. I've asked a question on China Car Forums to see if anyone can identify this one.
