If it wasn't adorned with side pannier boxes, snorkel etc, they could have gone with LE55 TAT too.

Sadly it was pimped out to the max, so should have had AL11 TAT

:lol:

I liked the irony of paying money *to the government* in order to put "Less Tax" on your car. Feels like a very gammon thing to do.

We have may of both, but have a long established RR/LR dealer in the next twon over. Where I got my car in fact. (NOt RR or LR) and seem to be a mix of tradesman's wives on the school run and tweed clad, florid face fishermen and hunters.

Farmers tend to be in japanese pickups with ten milion miles on them.

I have often wonder about the boxes, I presume it is to evoke the old camel trophy petrol cans strapped to teh side, but hey do look bloody silly, along with snorkels, on a car that is plainly valteded weekly and only even mounts curbs.
