So you started with the conclusion that the vehicle isn't an Evoque and tried to prove that the photo showing the license plate is faked?

I have no opinion whether it's an Evoque or not. I haven't even tried to read the license plate. My point is only that the front photo looks consistent with the rear photo and it's implausible that a Twitter nobody went to the effort to fake a whole video just to put out a fake license plate number.

Unless, of course, he's well funded by some baddies. Even then, there must be easier ways to fake just the plate.

But the particular make and year aren't terribly important. I'll wait for the report for those details. What if the official report says it was an older Evoque? Will you believe it then or will it just be an official lie?

Why do we have to wait for the report. Why cannot we be told what car, model and make it is, now? What is the big need for secrecy?

In what way does it stop the car being a diesel, as we have been officially told by the fire service, and which was the apparent point of this thread?

Do you even read the links you provide? That is about registering vehicle conversion done with kits or Q reg vehicles, which are things like ambulances converted into cars.

It does not mention diesel to hybrid conversion once and given no hint that this is possible.

You failed to answer my question, either try again or admit you made it up.

It mentioned 'converted', which is plenty good enough for Vixen.

It was another poster who claimed such a car was 'elderly'.

It was not any longer a £130k+ car, as you tried to describe it, that's for sure, but nor is a 2014 car a pile of old junk. Try to get over the idea that if something is not at one extreme it must necessarily be the opposite extreme.

I drive a 2014 Venza. It most definitely is not a pile of junk. Never had a major problem - just routine maintenance. I keep it in excellent shape and expect that it is good for at least another 100k.

I think it has been identified as an Evoque so I think someone is keen to turn it into a diesel proper that cannot have been a hybrid.

Bollocks.It was an nine year old Sport, a pure diesel model. You're spewing drivel again.

Vixen said:
Do you have an enlargement of the number plate that proves it is the Sport registration number as claimed?

Yes. :)

So the answer's, 'no', you can't cite a source for your claim the car was a Sport 2014.

Shee-eesh, this is like trying to plait eels in a bucket.

:p Ah, the entertainment value of watching your squiring attempts to evade reality in favour of your nonsense.......

I had an Escort XR3i back in the 80s.
We got it cheap from a police auction of stolen and recovered vehicles with no identifying marks, it was at most just a couple of years old.
All the chassis and engine numbers had been removed.
To get it on the road we re-registered it and it was given a Q plate as it had no age identifying marks.

Who knows? But given that we have not been officially told yet and that we know eventually will be told, I see no reason to guess what the model is.

You seem to be appealing to the best explanation to conclude that the chief is under a gag order coming from the prime minister. But I don't think this is a good explanation for why no official identification of the vehicle was made. It is implausible.

Indeed, the silence could be due to anything at all. There's no rule that the vehicle be identified early on, so I'm not surprised or perplexed that it hasn't been.
