818 YUX where are you?

Good points guys and more weight to my argument for having digital photographs saved on the register, 3/4 front, back and interior. No privacy issues that I can think of, and if someone were trying to restore a similar car the registrar could potentially put people who own good reference vehicles in contact, all with consent of course. Outside of the UK it becomes much harder to trace a car as registration numbers often don't stay with the cars if they are not in constant use, added to which most old paper registration records have long been destroyed when streamlining systems with the advent of computer records.
