what is that?

[RickHaleParker]

I doubt that, Rick, because it was specced as a 5 seater in it's Typenschein (equivalent of a pinkslip).

Typenschein = Type certificate.

In US English a Pink Slip is a notice of dismissal from employment or In Automotive the Vehicle title.

In British English a Typenschein is a V5, and a pink slip doesn't exist. Termination of employment is very romantically described as a P45 here. Anyway, I digress; a V5 describes load and seat capacity, inclusive of optional third row seating, exclusive of heated or otherwise. Baffling really, you'd have thought seat number would be one of the easiest and most logical things to legislate and yet we appear to have multiple different standards already from all of three countries. Small wonder there are so many barriers to trade.

I suspect: In some locations, third row seating is considered an accessory not a feature.

How many stone will Jane have to carry 3 furlongs if she bought 3 guineas worth of corn at 8 threpenny bits per ounce, and thence traded the corn at 2 pounds 3 shillings sixpence each for a henway?

Show your work.

Yes, true, but an individually numberrd cooy of the type certificate acts as the vehicle title. Kind of...

Researched it this morning.

It’s for the henway.

Our local morning weather guy is name Henley, and we tell that old that joke every morning.

The answer is about two pounds. I know it by heart.
