A mate of mine was working in Dover today and saw not one but two car transporters fully loaded with Mk1s coming off the docks! There were a couple of VWs but other than that panel vans and chassis cabs, mostly LHD, one had Belgian plates but other than that no IDs. Wonder what the story is there? You heard it here first

I wonder if they were anything to do with the chap in Romford who imports them from Malta? I see he's got 3 for sale at the moment on the other forum, although I think anything coming from there normally comes by sea into Tilbury. Anybody got any ideas where in the country they went?

That would be right about Germany wouldn't it with no plates on them, the plates don't go with the vehicle there do they? Can remember having a few sets of export plates at one time..

Do you know what they were, Lwb or Swb, Petrol or Diesel? Were they all red with blue lights? ;D
