| Spotted - Odd Registration |
|
This is a difficult one to post, while remaining within the "don't quote a full registration" guidelines... If it offends the Mods, please remove! 
I was travelling south on the A9 on Friday and spotted a nice silver Discovery heading north, just crossing the bridge over the Tay at Dunkeld. The registration clearly read as DISCO D and was spaced like that. It was powering north and I couldn't tell in the passing whether it was a D3 or D4. Looking up the most obvious registration (with the numbers being 1 and 5) shows that registration is on a Ford Transit.
A search on here shows a poster offering for sale a similar plate, with the C replaced with an O, saying it can easily be made to look like it reads Disco. But DVLA has that one still allocated to a D2, untaxed and with its last MOT in 2011. Not on SORN, so the number is presumably on retention, with the vehicle scrapped.
I'm now perplexed as to what other combination might have given the impression that I saw. The only other explanation I can come up with is that either of these numbers has recently been transferred onto a D3/D4 and that DVLA is yet to catch up.
Anyone on here know the answer? Previously:
2010 FL2 TD4e GS
‘93 Defender 110 200TDi CSW - still got this, non-runner on SORN.
‘87 Defender 90 4 cyl Petrol
‘83 110 CSW V8 - best ever!
Range Rover 2-door V8 (not sure of year - 4-speed box and vacuum diff switch)
Series III SWB Diesel
