I don't think P1 in existence still but i believe a royal saloon was re-registered with the P1 Number .

equipped2ripp · Postby **equipped2ripp** » September 15th, 2009, 3:07 pm

a good bit of vehicles were re-registered with old "P" plates in the 1980s...

P1 was not the first car imported into Trinidad however it was the first car registered under the current registration system the is
a RHD 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
The first owner was Chief Justice Mattew Perez
Second owner was JN Harriman
Third owner John Booze of JB Valpark
Fourth owner was Mr. Booze's mechanic Frenchie from Diego Martin
Then Mr. Danny Hamid
Presently the car is being restored by our shop AUTO TRAX CUSTOMIZING CENTRE being restored to be launched @ our 2010 Annual easter car show in Tobago.

Pics soon

Yep...well sortof. They're covered by bush in an area where some new houses are going up.

You'd think that this area would be cordoned off and recognized as an important piece of history :roll:

equipped2ripp · Postby **equipped2ripp** » September 15th, 2009, 5:13 pm

should be capped off by now...

janfar · Postby **janfar** » September 15th, 2009, 5:22 pm

Cordoned off and capped for safety in case of blowout u mean...

^^Well yes of course. Capped ages ago at the end of commercial use.

Cordoned off and capped for safety in case of blowout u mean...

Blowout?????? Doubt it.

It's not cordoned off either....it's in the back (within walking distance) of someone's house :lol:

Point is, you wouldn't even know that it was the Aripero well site unless someone told you (and to think that was one of the first producing wells of it's time in the world).

But that's another topic
