Re: [doc] Dusty's reg. no.

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham@xxxx>]

Dear all,
I have been over to my local licensing office this morning, it appears that
despite my hopes, dusty will only be offered an "age related " plate, ie Wor
Y reg. The rules state that a new car that has been in storage for up to 2
years, or is still in production, can have the latest issue number.
Unfortunately Dusty fails on both counts, so the current favourite is GUI
12...no definite decisions yet.
