corncroft Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Hi, just joined ! should've joined years ago !. I am the proud owner of a 1974(?) Manta "A" which has the number WEC 681Y yup an '83 plate on a '74 manta (used to have ORA911) had been my daily driver a few years back but got side shunted and has been off the road since ,and I am starting to revive it cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manta again Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Great to have you along, and another A series. Pics please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiffy220 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hope to see some pics soon. Am I being thick? How do you get away with an 83-Y plate on a 74 A series Manta? Thought the plate had to be age related or an older plate than the year of manufacture? Could I put a 52 plate on my B series for instance? Surely not allowed?

corncroft Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 hi smiffy 220 it appears you can do this if you are the DVLA ! ,from what I can tell the car came from Isle of man with the plate ORA911 which I think got sold and at the time the DVLA issued it WEC681Y I have the MOT's for some of its life and one showing the Reg change! I think they only did this in '82/83 at some stage I will get some piccys uploaded thanks for all the welcomes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
