Interesting one Rob. Any idea when/where taken?
According to the DVLA it's only been out of tax about a year and it's a 1957
The vehicle details for YKR 831 are:
Date of Liability 01 02 2008
Date of First Registration 07 03 1957
Year of Manufacture Not Available
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1192CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour SILVER
However, as it shows all the signs of an earlier car, hearts, batwing and ribbed doors, I suspect it's not a UK dealer supplied car, rather a RHD from Singapore or the Southern Hemisphere that arrived in the UK in 57.
Like you, would love to know more, especially if it is a UK car.
