Re: Mini Petrol Powered Corvette 'Go-Kart' For Sale (7ft Long) On UK Ebay

Sorry for the cross post, but this registration thing really seems wacky.

It isn't in order according to the years that have been posted.

You will notice there is a discrepancy in the M, V, W, X, and W tags.  I
was
there in '82 so I know that X should be an '82.Most likely I and O are not
issued, as confusion with numbers. But that still leaves big holes in P
through V.  Also, I had an M-reg and it was registered 19/07/74, so how is
M
a '73?  I also had an H-reg and it was build in '69 and registered in '69,
so it wasn't a '70.
