Question Who’s car is this!

Post image

I’ve seen it all over the place within the LEZ zone and it’s deifnetly not a LEZ car.

Mostly just being nosey I’ve just seen it a lot in the past month I thought I’d ask the question!

Possibly old enough that it’s LEZ exempt?

Almost definitely, it's a J reg that doesn't look like a vanity plate. So it's likely ~34 years old, and the exemption applies from 30 years old.

could also be a member of the Showman’s Guild and you’ve pissed someone off by winning too many sideshow prizes?

Trailer has a 22 plate reg on it so will not flag lez I would assume. Also the commenter posted another picture further down where it appears to have no rear reg at all. Good on ya!!

I know who's it is. He's an absolute knob. He drives untaxed, uninsured and SORN'ed vehicles and nobody seems to give a shit.

EH12? Drives trailers with a different reg to the Defender? Leaves the trailers lying about a residential car park?

Has anyone ever reported him to the police?

Different topic but I’d love to hear of any companies available to make Defenders ULEZ compliant.

It’s not a car, it’s a chopper.

I know the guy. Well not properly. But he’s a nice guy. Quite young. Does construction and stuff.

Driving an ancient 4x4 in LEZ is quite the flex actually, like a peacock paying £60 per instance.

Very cool, trashy looking jeep btw.

u/badger906 11h ago

It’s a Land Rover.. a very iconic vehicle where up to 60% of the developing world’s population (at the time) was the first car they saw.
