Make & type ?

[levensnevel]

Hi all,

my youngest son just returned from a 9 days / 3,500 km roadtrip on his Honda TransAlp.
During this roadtrip he covered the nice countryroads in England, Scotland & Wales.
He shot a lot of pictures and nice vids.
During one of his many fuelstops he shot a picture of a nice ?classic? sleek lined sportscar
Unfortunately he didn't wrote down make & type.



Anyone from here who recognizes this beautiful car?

C Type Jaguar - not sure if real or replica

Thanks for your feedback Peter
I asked my son for more details and he told me that this beauty had an 'old fashioned' numberplate at the back.
So I assume he must have spotted an original C-Type.

Not necessarily. If it was constructed / modified from a vehicle manufactured before 1st January 1973, it can use traditional 'black and white' plates.

Even if it was "manufactured" after 1973 you could still buy an "old" registration and then put illegal back and white plates on the car, most plod probably wouldn't know the difference

True.

And it's not just the fine, it's the pain of having to deal with Swansea.

You are now number 83 in the queue - thank you for holding.

Thanks for the interesting feedback.
UK isn't much different from the Netherlands in this area so it seems
