Is it possible to identfy a car by its registration number? I've tried Google and various registration sites but no luck. The car in question is WMC 180. The reaon I ask is that I followed this car yesterday in Horley, and I am intrigued to know what it was. My best guess is a Paramount, a mid-fifties 1172 Ford Special - so it may be registered as a Ford, although Paramount were certainly listed as a manufacturer in 1954. I don't think they were supplied in kit form, though. It certainly had the same wing shapes as a Paramount, although with some significant differences - the front wheels were spatted but not the rears, and it had enormous double bumpers - almost bull bars - fore and aft. General appearance was of a rather ungainly cross between a Jowett Jupiter and a Karmann Ghia. I should think it's quite well known, as it appeared to be in concours order.

The nearest I have come up with are the Healey of about 1955 - on steroids! Or did you search on the numberplate? Geoff MacK >>> Is it possible to identfy a car by its registration number?

Searched on the number plate.

The thing I saw had a split screen, far more bulbous wings, and bluntly was plug-ugly. I'm sure the giveaway was the spatted front wheels with open rears; can't imagine many designers thought this a good idea. Geoff MacK |
