    Sentra won't have had rear belts from new though. Probably still doesn't have them now.

    We had a 1985 saloon version of that Sentra. Not a bad car at all back in the day to be fair.

    Not being smart but are you sure it was a Bentley?
    They didn't start production until 1920.

    The owner would have had to fit lap belts to satisfy NCT test

    If they weren’t there when new they aren’t required. Had a few cars with no rear belts and never had a problem

    They can’t test what was never there

    What's going on with that reg?

    120k cars regged in 1967?

    Or do they just make pre-1987 reg's go up sequentially regardless of year?:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

    Imported from the uk around 2011 or 2012 would be my guess. Imports got designated numbers for awhile. Dublin started at 120k

    That would explain a lot. I've seen a good few 9N-D-120NNN and the like and was blown away by number and the year seemingly being out of whack.

    One of Noonans crackpot ideas that was dropped when he realised how many vehicles were being imported!

    A 92 Micra on Griffith Avenue loaded down with 3 OAP's. It looks like a daily.

    You got a rear roof spoiler different interior trim - and the section of door between front door window and rear side window had a black finish.

    Those headlights need a polish. :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
