Those of you who watch the TV programme, Top Gear, may have seen the India special over the Christmas period.
Quite a few readers got in touch after a car with an old Isle of Wight ‘DL’ numberplate was shown.
The presenters were challenged to driving across India in British cars and an Austin Allegro with the number plate YDL 825T was given as their back-up car.
Update: Although we had many VB readers get in touch, saying they’d spotted the DL numberplate and could we find out more, VB reader TimHo checked the registration on the RAC Car Checker website and confirmed that it is actually YOL not YDL!
Do you know the car?
Many of the readers who got on touch about the DL car were curious as to its history.
Do you recognise the car? Did you own it once? Was it sold recently? Did the owner know it was going to be used on Top Gear?
You can still watch the programme on BBC iPlayer, but in quick as it’s only available until 9:29PM Wednesday 4 Jan 2012.
