mk2_craig Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Plates look a lot older than 1978, possibly original to the car. Might have been exported for a time and reissued original mark on returning to the country, or laid up for a while pre DVLA computerisation and only entered into the database in 78? Whatever, great spot. It looks suitably flaky.

Whatever, great spot. It looks suitably flaky. just means it was first registered with the DVLA computer system in 1978, and for whatever reason its original registration date in the UK was not put down or perhaps not known (if the buff logbook was lost) this was when they where doing mass transfers of vehicle from buff logbooks to the V5 scheme and you could make up almost any old story to get a car onto the system etc its more then likely been a UK car its entire life, its just that for whatever reason, when it was computerised during the 1974-1983 computerisation scheme, that the date of first registration recorded was when it was computerised rather then actually first road registered in this country see for example NOO776M, KRW794, TEV673N, BPK646H, UPB406M as some more examples Skizzer, danthecapriman, adw1977 and 1 other 4

Richard_FM Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 It seemed to be common for cars to fall off the system if they were untaxed & when the switchover to computerised logbooks happened. I've found a few when I've been checking out old photos.
