  • Swanage Roadster on Reddit

    Found this pic on Reddit, apparently taken very recently in Swanage, looks
    like an early Marina based with a hole for a spare on the drivers running
    board, and a very old tyre on the rear spare.

    Does anyone know anything about it - whose car it is, and it's registration number ?

    Hi DC
    I saw that as well during my frequent google image search.
    With a bit of detective work (i looked on the estate agents website for the house next door that had a sold notice ) I found the road name. Then with google street view I found this.......

    So the address is 94, Victoria Avenue, Swanage. A google search for this address gives the name Roger Beeston as the possible owner
    There is an image of this car in the Roadster galleries.

    So the reg plate is Q676 FRU

    Hope this helps your files.

      Well done Jon, many thanks for your time - like me, I guess you're getting a bit bored now ?

      The name R Beeston is not in the files - and neither is the car's chassis number - but this
      is all more grist to my mill

      Thanks again and stay safe Rgds DC
