Zoom in on the picture by clicking on it and all will be revealed!!

Yes thanks for the generosity, I can see now that c and l didnt quite match the card. Its probably not giving too much away to others who may wish to play along, but with one of your favourite sports, and the recent flag jigsaw my first guess at "k" was AH, which was subsequently corrected by an ask the audience lifeline!

Indeed I doubt that will help anyone!! However the correct picture would have qualified for the quiz, well spotted.

I imagine thats top of the head knowledge Mick, but there is a good 4minute clip of the plane the "sat nav" and the Switzerland Mustang/Aston Car pursuit! Supplementary from it...When was the car tax up on the Aston

Time for another offering from my GCHQ puzzle book.

I've got a copy of that book... Given to me as a Christmas present a few years back...

It sadly illustrates my mental/cognitive dysfunctions very starkly I don't think I ever solved one...

It's just an ornament these days but deeply cherished because of who gave it to me, most sincerely thinking that it would help me

It didn't and made me despondent I was unable to make anything of it... A few years earlier I'd have had a great time with it...

I remain rubbish at quizzes of any sort

I'd hate to do an IQ test... I'd be lucky to reach double figures

Can't even do a simple crossword these days, let alone a cryptic one

Here is a rather large clue to the question

click and it gets bigger

When was the car tax up on the Aston

For those of you familiar with Road Tax/Vehicle Excise Duty history as it applied in February 1965 state your case with evidence (for the award of no points), for a date other than the end of February 1965.

Meanwhile let's assume the answer is the end of February 1965 for the obvious date, as plastered on the tax disc on the Aston's windscreen
