Registration anomaly
I was looking at a bike for sale today. The registration document confirms
the "W" reg. number but says the bike was first registered in 2002. Can anyone explain how this might have come about? Tom |

I have a GSX600FL, on an H plate, first registered _in the UK_ 03/07/2000.

I've got one here that says first reg 2001, declared manufactured 1962, Historic Vehicle... Small drawback... It also says "Declared new at first registration"... Oh, and if you do an RAC vehicle data search on the plate, it comes up with the manufacturer blank and model blank. You'd almost think they'd never seen a VeloSolex before. <pseudo-gallic shrug> |
