to be seen again
Whether they were great ideas that shone brightly for a short
time or a flash in the pan that sank without trace, here we

Belcher says "the photo in the feature article alongside
is my V8 from when I attended the photoshoot Classic & Sportscar
at Curborough Sprint Course in 2019. I told the researcher that
my MGBGTV8 with its registration plate - FOM 7L- had
been used twice in the recent past for comparison tests for
magazines. I thought they would use another car but at the last
minute they decided to invite me. They suggested using any other
registration plate so as I had a pair of cherished plates -
KDB 27 - for my VW Caddy, they asked me to fit them."
Keith adds " I have had the cherished registration KDB
27 for 50 years and it has been fixed to many of my cars
since 1974."
Keith Belcher's MGBGTV8 (Damask 1949) is in a Classic &
Sports Car feature article looking back at selection of "20
classic one-hit wonders".
