That takes Britsh Racing Green to a whole different level.
Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

Never seen an MNR improperly registered. When I spoke to them they wouldnt even let people put Q plates on them, they insisted on Age related or new
(not sure how thats possible once someones built the kit though)

I thought all Duttons were unloved

They might have that intention but, once sold the product is out of their control, and I've seen an MNR registered as a Dutton over here.

I'd still have one over most Robin Hoods (GBS Zero excepted).

Poor old car. They weren't really too bad in their day. Ive often thought about rescuing an old Dutton as a project. So long as the chassis was
largely sound it wouldn't be too much work to change the suspension and tweak the bodywork.

That dutton was in a right mess, chassis that could be seen was really rotten. I have found it on google maps and it obvioulsy hasnt moved for years
or decades!

You want to hear sad? I know someone with a COPY of a Dutton. It is years away from running.

Off course it's not moved, some bozo has built a wall around it and trapped it in...
