DVLA search has 1962 year of production 2800cc Diesel so think your right about Jag .

Brian....

A couple of spots from yesterdays Classic Car meet near Alton in Hants.





The owner of the DS explained that is's an import from Sweden and unrestored. Apparently they don't use salt on the roads in winter over there, hence it's excellent condition.

They use salt on souther part of Sweden, but much less when going to north and after some point (north enough) they don't. Same here in Finland, north enough and we don't have same kind rust issues what we have on center part and worst is at south...

Just wondered some time ago how rust free Toyota Carina from -86 was what had spent its life at Sodankylä, near the northest border. And here, about 800-900km souther, those cars just rusted away over decade ago...

Thanks Jasu.

Salt is only effective as a de-icer down t about -6 degrees, I believe, so that may be part of the reason it's not used further north. We had the same problems with early Jap cars here in the uk, dissolving before your eyes after each winter. Three years use, tops!

White E reg 2cv with white/blue striped roof (not beachcomber as far as I could see) heading north on the B2133 near Billingshurst mid morning today. Much waving, from me at least, couldn't see if he was doing the same due to the sun.

G reg yellow and white in Sandy, Beds this afternoon @ 2pm. We got a wave, yay!

A red one with white wings spotted in Hemel Hempstead today. Looked quite nice, but I didn't have my phone camera activated soon enough.

Nice white D reg 2cv in Shaftesbury Friday afternoon and again in Sturminster Newton this morning.

A few thousand just south of Nimes over the last few days. (I'm surprised nobody here has mentioned this event!).

....and again yesterday morning. Must be local.
