Synopsis

There have been a number of changes in legislation which have affected the motorist over the years, but the system of motor vehicle registration marks developed over the last 20 years or so has particularly affected enthusiasts and those interested in cherished numbers. As more old vehicles are discovered and with the growth in the market for special numbers, independent verification of a vehicle's history has become increasingly important. The author has analysed and chronicled the present system and, for the first time, explained how the motorist goes about verifying the history of the vehicle. This book contains a comprehensive survey covering the UK, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and the Republic of Ireland, and includes a complete directory of addresses and telephone numbers of where surviving archives can be found. This book should be of interest to anyone owning or contemplating the purchase of a vehicle where the documentary evidence is incomplete, and to Club Secretaries, historical societies, archivists and local historians.
