So, will you be getting a repro disc to display on your car/bike instead?

I reckon they'll look quite cool. I've found a couple of sites that do them, one charging £26 (where I bought some 1928 tax disc cufflinks for my brother from ages ago, and they're very good quality) and another that charges £7! As we'll have quite a few I may have to trial order a 7 quidder and see how it looks.

I think I'll just leave the last one in there, although in the case of theh Quattro I think I've got them all going back to one for 1988, which is possibly nicer.

Just ordered one of your £7 link, will let you know how it turns out. Seems like a nice honest dude earning a buck on the side, can't blame him in that.

Good man!

Are you getting him to fill it in for you? My handwriting's terrible hehe

I think I'm going to order a 1928 one tonight, but I can't decide whether to get him to rubber stamp for Bournemouth, where my brother's bike was registered or not. Also - as stupid as this sounds - I assume I need to order a 1929 one for a 1928 bike..?!

Let me know what they're like because if the things are half decent I'll be getting a set too.

Greg (the £7 man) is highly recommended - I've had a good few from him and you'll get a tax disc history document too as part of the deal plus spare discs and a lifetime replacement guarantee!

Received my latest one yesterday

Cracking product! Going to order a pair for my two classics on seeing that... I recently bought a pair of 'Stewart & Ardern' London dealership stickers for the Cooper S from this company... http://www.classiccapsule.com/ ... all these little details add up for a nice period look!

Just to be pedantic an FX registration is Dorset! It's the last two characters that designate the district and XH is London so the research was correct.

I agree, it looks like great value for money. I will be ordering too, I guess this man is going to get quite busy.

Yep, FX is Dorset. We've got a YX **** which is 1920s London. There's a list here

I'm pleased he'll get busy, as mentioned above he seems to be a bloke trying to make a buck doing something he knows about. And the recommendation is good too, so I'll be ordering soon smile

Ian - absolutely right - it was my brain fade.

Here is what Greg said:
The suffix XH was a London registration on the earlier (up to early 60s) list I have, but is missing on the later (64 on) list, so I suppose it was discontinued. I’ll put LONDON on unless I hear otherwise from you.

That's certainly attention to detail. I've just ordered mine, thanks again for the pointer.
