Well thread is not dead yet, more a case of being dormant :)

Heard from the DVLA today about the registration saga. They are now arranging for vehicle assessors to come and inspect both cars, date of visit TBC. Judging by their current speed rate, may not be for a while, then again you never know [-o<

The good news is that what ever the outcome, they will issue an age related plate to who ever is unsucessfull (If thats the right word)

So overall I am a lot happier as news was a lot more positive than I was expecting :thumbright:

He might sell it not sure...its Matt black now....but it is definately it in very good condition. $$$
I can only ask him, he knows its from Cracklin....he told me. :shock:
its not Hughs its a twin rallye hood with 70's prostock letter box type scoop, very similar to the one in Blues pictures....apparently he bought it off the guy who was selling cracklin years ago

Heard from the DVLA this week, could all be drawn to a conclusion in the next couple of weeks.

I have no idea, which car the DVLA will decide is or isnt CracklinRose, all I care about now is that it will be finally resolved..........

Been a long 6 months
