So it seems its that time of year again. Xmas tree collection - three as before. We've been doing that for six years now.
The first one was dropped off at Harkstead as we passed and I checked on the Imp. Yes still there.
Back home I did some research into where to put the VIN plate - as I have various holes. I found the four original ones which I'll use but I also have two more sets - one from the original (well replaced) vin plate. I also read that early cars have the chassis number stamped on the scuttle in the engine compartment so I thought I'd have a look for it.
I'd assume it was no longer there after looking but luckily I zoomed in on the picture of the blank space and spotted a indistinct mark, then a better one. It was the Chassis number. So after some better lighting and a macro lens I'd deciphered it. Ah that's not the same as I have on record.
So it's not the January 1960 car I thought it was with chassis #9002794 - in fact #9000430 must be late 1959.
What to do now ?
ION: The Israelis are obviously feeling left out - so they have pushed tanks into the edge of Syria and bombed military stockpiles and facilities 'to stop them falling into the wrong hands'.
