 Close up of Alvis rabbit

This pic from another site suggests plate is DG/JG/OG 3474, with only DG 3474 coming up with anything

We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided
ALVIS UNKNOWN 1931
Registration number: DG 3474
Body type: Sports
Colour: Green
Date of first registration: November 1931

... which is where it goes a bit strange. Googling "Alvis DG 3474" promptly goes to this 2008 auction listing for 1931 Alvis 12/60HP TK Sports (UXR 596) with chassis no. 8923. 8923 is old friend from 2 1960s films, both times painted white with GP 5256 plate.

UXR 596 comes up as
We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided
VOLVO VOLVO L90 LOADING SHOVEL
Registration number: UXR 596
Body type: Sports
Colour: Grey And Black
Date of first registration: July 1931

with DVLA saying
✗ Untaxed Tax due: 1 September 2006
Vehicle make ALVIS
Date of first registration July 1931
Year of manufacture 1931
Cylinder capacity 1645 cc
Fuel type PETROL
Export marker No
Vehicle status Untaxed
Vehicle colour GREY
Date of last V5C (logbook) issued 12 October 2005

So there's something odd going on. Whether UXR 596 has become DG 3474 is the question up for grabs - the photos look good, but the footprints stop. And is DG 3474 the current identity of old friend #8923??

 By the way - rabbit? That is on some German mass transportation thing.

On an Alvis?


Hare, dear boy, hare!
Speed and guile, not some sort of unfortunate prey animal.

 68 type TK were built, of which 48 survive, so there is not a huge oeuvre to go through.
