R47 ◊ 2006-09-05 22:44	Sorry folks, the 1955 Imperial had no fins. This is an example of a 1956 edition.
dsl ◊ 2021-11-28 01:34	YPF 5 again, Surrey, Oct 55 to March 56 "allocated in blocks".
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2021-11-28 09:11	“Made for GB”, in a mirror? It may come as a surprise to some, but cars made for GB tend to be steered from the right hand side. This should say “Made somewhere and sent to GB”. -- Last edit: 2021-11-28 09:47:35
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2021-11-28 12:47	Please delete “Made for” it debases the veracity of the d-base when used in such a thought free manner.
dsl ◊ 2021-11-28 17:48	^ it makes it much easier to check for and retrieve other sightings of same or similar so they can be matched. It acts as a convenient lubricant for using the database.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2021-11-28 18:10	But it’s wrong!!! Do we want to be viewed as unreliable? Posting fake news?

It acts as a convenient lubricant for using the database. We have 44 of these, hardly a Crown Vic is it? I still persist in my view that “Made for GB” is arrant nonsense, and makes a mockery of it. It would be acceptable with the steering wheel on the right, but there is nothing here to suggest that it wasn’t just pulled off the track, and the wing mirrors and numberplate fitted by the concessionaire in London. -- Last edit: 2021-11-29 13:41:21

It acts as a convenient lubricant for using the database. I don't really see the point here The "made for" tag is supposed to justify a different year/make/model/trim than what would be decided for the car in its home country. Or when there are visible changes (e.g. headlights for EU vehicles in the US). The steering wheel side was excluded for that, otherwise too many cars would require a tag. In the same way, Japanese vehicles for export markets do not always have a tag, so we add a "made for J" tag when a JDM car is seen outside Japan.
dsl ◊ 2024-02-14 14:13	^ As said, it's a useful hook for catching repeat sightings, in this case of YPF 5 itself and of any other mid-50s Imperials which arrived here - we have another definite of YPF 5 and 2 highly probables of same car. Some of us like to link sightings, and it has the practical advantage that we can pull them out and ensure the IDs are consistent across the sightings. This may not be a very strong example to use as we don't have many Imperial [C-73]s to play with, but I think it illustrates the point. And with experience of pulling out various 50s/60s US-things-in-GB over the years, it's beginning to illustrate a below-the-radar trend; most were theoretically available through special order channels via London-based concessionaires, and very few actually arrived. But these concessionaires seemed to have had arrangements with the local plate office to regularly get single-digit ABC x plates (or in the later 60s ABC xA) format plates, so these were officially-sourced imports, not random. I'd pose the question back - what benefit does removing the tags bring? It reduces the info in the database (OK this is a diddy example so the reduction is very small), and relegates this little bunch of Imperial sightings from being noticed within the others.
antp ◊ 2024-02-15 07:58	Maybe put the plate between quotes in extra info then? As a sort of nickname, if it is a special occurrence of a car. The complain against the tag is that it is not accurate if the car has nothing specific from UK except the license plate. In this case it is probably not a big deal, but if it starts being too much used, it may become useless. -- Last edit: 2024-02-15 07:59:07
