Only ever see these at shows or auctions! Although I'm not sure if I've ever seen one on the road?, this was at a Morrisons store on Canvey Island.

Re: Back to the past
A very rare find.
I can honestly say that I have never seen one in the metal.
Only on TV -
Back to the future 1, and a few documentaries...

Re: Back to the past
Fantastic to see one being used.
One of those cars that is guaranteed to turn heads wherever it goes.
I saw one around Hastings once. I just about managed to gesticulate in its general direction and gave out a little yep before it went out of view.
I must have appeared very odd to passers by.

There used to be one that drove round Abergavenny regularly, however it disappeared about 5 years ago.
A car that I always wanted to own, sadly now my wages are ok the price of them seems to at least of doubled so is likely to always stay a dream.

Re: Back to the past
I've never seen a 'real' one in the flesh, a car show, and the shopping centre one I saw years later had Kenwood blenders etc attached.
Both were looking pretty tired. I wasn't impressed at all.
that one looks pretty good though parking must be a pain. Would that be an exception from the people who park over two bays

Re: Back to the past
According to the mot checker this car didn't exist after registration until July last year.
I wonder where it's been -or should that be when
It seems odd that in two years time it will be exempt from getting an mot but not from tax?

That doesn't sound right to me, exemption from something you're going to do purely for safety anyway
