The owner also owns '50 FAR' and '4WAY' and apparently refers to his cars as a flock rather than a fleet

If he had those number plates he wouldn’t spend his life just wishing

Proving without doubt, money really does not buy class.

Or a knowledge of 80's New Wave music trivia.

I quite like seeing those as they've got some great plates. I saw IC 1 a couple if weeks ago.

IND 1 was in a car park in Oxford last week. And LIT 1 (presumably Lithuania) was here the week before. College lunches are clearly worth travelling for.

These folk often speak at/visit The Oxford Union.

'be of a type that needs an MOT'

I presume that includes vehicles that are MOT exempt due to the 40 year rule? Because they 'need' an MOT but are granted an exemption through the regulations??

The 5-year thing presumably is to stop people transferring good numbers straight off 'barn finds' that are too far gone to fix (so one would just have to SORN it for 5 years then transfer it off)?

I presumed that as well. I'm not sure, though. I think you're right about the 5 years thing, and of course for vehicles too far gone to fix, there's always the chance they'll want to see it moving under it's own power before they'll let the registration be transferred.

I agree. Vehicles over 40 years old don't normally need an MOT. However, they will need one for any cherished transfers. I presume this is so DVLA knows the vehicle exists, an MOT certificate will prove this.

I'm not sure why the 5 year rule is in place. When you buy a used car you have no idea whether it's been taxed or sorn continuously for the last 5 years. What about vehicles that have been 'in trade' for a long time?

It's the white Cross of France, on a Jersey plate.

Suggest to them they don't park in the car park at the Royal Berkshire Hospital.
