a purple clubman with a f'king 4" cannon....yeah..its a cooper :shock: Idiot.

I just started walking off slowly and hoped he'd go away.
Hey C'mon I've got a bright orange '71 'K' and I once had a curry-munching servo attendant ask me if it was one of those "NEW" minis!!!!!

I replied what you mean a Clubman??

My sophisticated humour is just lost on some people :!: :roll:

Technically it isn't a compliance plate even though it is referred to as one.
It is only a identification tag or factory number plate.
it wasn't until 1971 that compliance plates came out, and 1973 when it became illegal not to have one on your car.
