an_unusual_eye ◊ 2010-05-24 02:48	i know little about how this works, but if the date of first registration was 1990... does that mean that the car was imported from another country at that time..?
chris40 ◊ 2010-05-24 09:20	If the registration number is genuine, no; it dates from 01/08/1970 - 31/07/71. We've seen elsewhere that DVLA info isn't always reliable.
