IIRC they were only made between 1970 and 1974... Looks like a H-suffix on the plate to me, so 1970.

I've got the reg at FVG508J, Date of first registration March 1975, Year of manufacture 1971, sounds like it took a while to sell.

Bitsas supper combined to make a tuna, cheese & onion toastie (truly lush, deffo going to do this again), and a random salad.

The girls had some of the tuna.

I didn't notice the J lurking at the end - I thought it was FVG50H. Whoops, glasses next time, Reynard me girl

OTOH, it could also have been re-registered if off the road for a long time.

Spotted this in one of the private public carparks in town this afternoon.

There's one locally, painted/wrapped as a police car. Along with a Reliant Robin in a similar police car scheme.

I'm on my main computer with a 27" screen and I had to magnify a little to confirm the J

My best wishes that your Dad's eye op is successful.

Thanks. Seems to have been so. Was allowed to return home this evening. Good time to encounter the currently single lane A1 over Wentbridge viaduct with a queue of 40mph moving traffic. Less said about sporious road works with the A1(M) filtered down to one lane and allegedly closed beyond jn 42 when it was not, and mass undertaking on the inside two lanes of the M1 after a number decided those were not closed after all.

Better than a half moon inside?

You know how you get so used to seeing something that when it disappears you can't work out what's changed? I had to look on Streetview to find out that all the greenery on this property has been grubbed up and renovation work started on the building.

In my excuse this was my first commute in nearly 2 weeks and don't use this area much unless on the commute.

I waved at a Google Street View car today.

A bit more work on the archive. Currently processing a batch of clippings from the Liverpool Echo

We don't get Aldi own brand penguin bars in Germany.

Expatriate life is full or hardships.

I go to the Aldis over here for the chocolate bars. Same as in other shops for 3-5x the price. Good German Chocolate.

I'm told this is very good for the price:

Back when I could, I liked Charles Taylor, AKA 2 Buck Chuck, from the Aldi.

I remember going to Weston-Super-Mare on holiday in 1971 and seeing one on the beach.

I remember seeing one near junior high school, but green, so 1972 or so for mine, but in The States.
