March Tax Discs

[Foofighter]

Don't know if this has been covered yet, but we just had a reissue for a tax disc we did online.

Took a little head scratching to see what the big issue was... all becomes very obvious!

Original:


Re-issued:




So if you have taxed your car from the post office, I think you are allowed to return it to get a new properly dated one, otherwise they'll be re-issuing the online purchased ones.

[Puddenchucker]

Took me a while to spot that.

I always thought Y2K was a software joke but March 2013
needs a real mainframe to work out why .

Didn't someone once spend ages making one of the best quality forged tax disks ever seen but date it 31st February.

[Sir Bagalot]

I know someone who a few years back was nicked for a forged tax disc. He coughed and when charged asked what was it that gave it away as it was the best he had seen. The PC agreed, saying that many in the station agreed that the wording and pattern were one of the best they had seen.... but it had one vital flaw..... it was the wrong colour for the year!

BTW, put the faulty one on ebay

I wonder if this is why I couldn't tax my car on line this month, always managed in the past?

Erm, will pass on putting it on eBay, its part of the cars history so shall go in the folder.

Thought I'd put it out there as a heads up to anyone who got one from the post office.

The same for me, a replacement tax disk arrived in the post yesterday.

Maybe a coincidence but mine is for a historic class as well.

Place it on ebay as it's a mistake. There is a market for it, like the 20p's that had no date?

Perhaps a thread necrophile,but he has a point. Someone,somewhere will value an official error.

Exactly. Have a look on ebay for pound notes with errors. Some go for an awful lot of money.

Just a thought, or you can keep it!

In a similar way to those twenty pence pieces that had no year stamped on them. There's bound to be some collector out there who will pay good money for it.

Always some idiot around. Look at the bidding on a £1 coin,some time ago .

[Foofighter]

As posted above, will be keeping it for the history folder. If it really is valuable then might sell it for parts in the future. Always something to break on a Mustang.

Desk20; if you still have your tax disc from March that was replaced then I would be happy to buy it off you... You were all right about there being a market for this sort of thing, and I'm part of it Been collecting old expired tax discs for 25 years...
