Strange how we can still remember the numbers. My Dad's VW Variant from 70-73(ET 202B), Volvo 140 from 73-76(JY 950B) and Volvo 245 from 76-79(NM 956B) whereas I can't remember any of the registrations of cars we have had since.
mine was AHL 13 B on a red Talbot samba many many moons ago,

I was at a mates house near Glasgow when a copper knocked on the door and asked if we knew who the car outside belonged to, as it didn't have a current tax disc. I explained about the BFG thing, but he still wanted to do me for having no tax! I think he eventually radio'd his control and was told to wind his neck in.
A similar thing happened to me in Ipswich, a cop on the beat stopped me and warned me about not having a tax disc on the left on the left hand corner of the windscreen. Never said a word after I pointed to the right hand corner of the windscreen.
Not far from there I was cooling out one day with a lady friend, when I noticed a cop car pulled up behind me, after about five minutes the cop came forward and asked me if I knew the registration number of my car. Down in London , cooling out again about 2.30 am Monday morning,when I was approached by the cops asking for a leave pass from my unit in Germany. GW253B attracted too much attention for my liking.
whilst heading back to BAOR from a course in UK. The Bill gave me a stern lecture on the dangers etc, I wasn't on an Autobahn now etc and then admitted that the paperwork would be a nightmare and to be careful!
