Date when car reg. issued -how - Peter C
Some time ago I found a car registration site that let you putin a number and it told you where and when it was issued. Can't find it now. Anyone know of such a site.

Cheers

Peter

I think this is what you're looking for Peter, on the newreg.com site;

This site doesn't seem worth a d*mn to me. I've tried both our cars on it - 99 and 00 respectively - and it hasn't heard of either.

I've now tried another dozen numbers from 1973 onwards, with rather less than 50% success [using IE]. It hasn't traced any later than 1996 (six), so my small sample suggests their database may be rather out of date. In any case they only tell you what any I-Spy book could - year and issuing council. If you are looking for a Was it or Wasn't it answer, it definitely looks unreliable.

With my head for remembering them, I just tried it for the registration of every vehicle owned in the UK by myself, wife, brother, or parents, over the past thirty two years.

1972
1974
1979
1984 (two cars)
1987
1988
1989 (two cars)
1993
1994 (two cars)
1997
1998 (two cars and a motorbike)
2000 (two cars)
2002 (52)
2003 (03)

So, a grand total of twenty vehicles.

Nineteen were successful, but one of the two cars registered on a W plate in 2000 failed.

Just seen posts re Mozilla v IE, so add that my previous post was conducted using IE v6.

Well my cherished mark (mods:it's in my email adress) is listed as 'maybe for sale' and is listed as 'price on application'

That's certainly news to me!!!!
