My father’s 1911 Renault Type CC
I thought you would be interested in these photographs. My father is a vintage car enthusiast. He started his working life in the 50’s as a coach builder and he could probably get a job at Morgan ! This car was a wreck when he acquired it, and had been converted into farm machinery. He bought it and restored it and it’s a real beauty now.
Renault’s were luxury limousines in the Edwardian era, competitors of Rolls Royce. A purchaser would buy the chassis, transmission and engine (with it’s distinctive bonnet) from Renault and then take the car to a coach builder for the body to be made.
When I get my Morgan I hope to take some photographs of the two cars together.

Nope. SV+4 numbers were used as 'age related' plates by DVLA to give numbers to imports and other unregistered cars.
Chances are a car like that if first registered in the UK would have gone to a big city, or a well off area. Had it really been the Kinross area, the plate would have been a really early one, my guess, SV+ 2 numbers, or even a Glasgow number as I've no idea when Kinross started registering cars. A car of that age could even have had a single letter!

Yes, I meant to come back to this after my last post.
Kinross started issuing SV registrations in January 1904 and continued until December 1963 (one of the slowest issuing rates of any licencing authority) so they would still have only been on two or even single digit numbers in 1911.
I knew DVLA used the SU series (Kincardine) as "age related" registrations but I didn't realise they used SV as well. Unless by chance the car was imported into Kinross in 1963 or earlier, that's the most likely explanation.
