Red traveller young lad driving had a tow bar coming from the driection from Raf honington towards honington village ,

Green saloon coming down Norwich raod in Watton towards Tescos

i was in a work car so no waves shamei have seen a cuple now and i was in a works car not the traveller

Dad followed a traveller today.
the curious thing about this one was that it was 'N' reg (i.e. 1974)
any ideas as to why this would be?
think the reg was RDC174N

At that time (up until the early eighties if my memory serves me right) cars that were re-registered got plates from that date. So if the car was re-imported etc. it would get a new number plate at the time of re-registration.

More likely it was ex-services. When they were no longer required they were sold and had to be re-registered as they would previously been issued with a military plate of some description.

ahh - that'd explain it, then!

Saw a guy in a cream 2 door driving up the A24 towards Hampton court today. Seen him twice now. Lovely car, bloody bright headlights! And his windscreen wipers seem to work! Whats that all about?

Haven't spotted any Minors since you all went back to Blighty;
Our local club's Sunday morning monthly meeting went Ok, fewer cars than usual due du rain and thunder storm - one chap turned up dispite that on a superb Norton.[frame][/frame]
Yes, you fell foul of the return home after a French log-weekend - If you were on the A13 that motorway is a pain !!!

I saw a green A-reg traveller in Northampton at the cock a doodle diddley hotel junction in Kingsthorpe this afternoon, I was mith my dad in his BMW so no waves but I think it was the same car I waved at a year or so ago at the same junction!
My sister's boyfriend also told me last week he saw a minor police car parked up in the local village of Scaldwell. Anybody's?

absolutely lovely grey (4-door I think) in Tottington Tesco Express car park, think the reg was 772UXG.
I thought there was hardly any other moggys near me!

Dove Grey 4-Door with red wheels driving down Cranes Park in Surbiton this afternoon. Anybody want to claim it?

Anyone spot my Dad's Royal Mail Van at the start of The Royal on ITV on Sunday?

I spotted 2 minors on the A1 this morning, travelling North-bound in my blue 2-door I overtook a blue G-reg traveller (waves exchanged ) and also later saw a bright yellow pick-up with a trailer going the other way.

saw several today, one was a black traveller going towards leyland, then saw 4 at the lancashire classic car show (i got there quite late) a white traveller, a red modified van, a black 1954 2 door OYH 919 and a lovely pale green one called 'Millie' 150 UXR driven by a very lovely and helpful man

I drove past a really nice looking white/cream convertible just outside Nottingham Uni today while I was in Lucy, think I've seen it on campus a few times as well.. just wondering if it belonged to anyone on here?!

Lovely trafalgar blue 2dr in Morrison's car park in Hatherley, Cheltenham.

Owner happy to let me have its body number - original engine in there too!!

Several cars including a lovely 1 owner traveller WVK 722H at the Corbridge Classic Car Show.

Approx 700 of them at Knebworth House today
