I wonder what sort of speedo it had to be able to record 78763 miles- - certainly not an original Smiths PA!

Following that hyperlink triggered some memories.
I grew up in Sarf Lunnon quite close to St. Mildred's Garage. An MOT certificate from there for an A7 during during the 1970s would definitely count as a rare thing.
The owner/manager/MOT tester seemed to have a hatred of old cars in general and A7s in particular; if you wanted a sharp intake of breath and a professional slow shake of the head when he discovered a minute amount of play in a kingpin or wheel bearing then that was the place to go.

The car is still listed on the DVLA system.

I am watching with interest as I have a number of old style MOT’s for my Ruby that were passed on when I bought the car. I may become a millionaire in the near future
