Never seen real Lambo in the UK, only those flash supercars driven by people who own countries. I did check out an old one on a farm in Italy.But it bet it ain't a Lamborghini
Cycling a narrow lane, do you wait and let the Tractor pass ?

I remember spotting a ringer running round in west Cornwall about 8 or 9 years ago. To me, it was really blatant so the local plod must have been blind. It had a dateless reg number, showed up on DVLA as a 1964 John Deere, but was actually a huge modern 4 wheel drive John Deere from the 2000's. Whether it was a stolen one using a dodgy ID I have no idea, but it certainly wasn't built in 1964!

^^^ A lot of Land Rovers pull that wheeze and I caught my fair share. Clearly modern Defenders, but registered as Series II's. Often farmers as well. They have this funny idea that as long as it contains the chassis plate and the odd item from the original when it can carry on using that ID.

Yes, owning one myself I'm well aware there's a lot of dodgy examples even apart from the coil sprung fakes but if you know all the subtle differences between the different year models they aren't hard to spot. Some are kosher in the chassis department, so are legal ID-wise, but are a mish-mash of different vintage mechanical and bodywork parts. Unscrupulous sellers try to pass them off as truly original vehicles which are more valuable!

Yeahbut if it’s a Fiat or similar that’s a bit like saying I’ve got a chair.

You can put them on tractors just as much as on any other vehicle. You aren't allowed to use a more recent plate than the vehicle registratin date, but you are allowed to use older ones.

You and Clarkson sat down having a discussion about farming methods, that’s something I’d like to see

Although from what I hear of his telly progs, he's actually acknowledged that it's not all quite as simple as first appears..

A vintage tractor procession earlier in the year stopped me and a mate from cycling earlier in the year. We were just finished in the cafe though, so it was no hassle to wait 20mins and admire the show
