Scooterotica

Just received the registration book for my scooter from those nice people at the DVLA. Quite pleased as it was my first attempt. It is completely random though. It begins AFW, and I'd be interested to know where the number originated from in the first place.

"FW" is the bit you need, and it was allocated to Lincolnshire (Lindsey)

Thanks for that Chris. If it doesn't like going up hills I'll know why.

Where did you find the information by the way?

after all it is a Lambretta!!

sorry- missed the last bit. I've got an old AA handbook (1961) they used to list all the old letter codes in them. Was quite interesting although I do know I need to get out more....

Chris

Cheers.

I'm sure you will be really surprised by this, but you can get it from the internet too. http://www.drivearchive.co.uk/regcodes.htm

I'm sure quite a few on here can remember the codes for their local licensing authority, and maybe a few of the adjacent ones too.

That's a good one Warts. Thanks for that. I did find a site after Chris came up trumps. It wasn't that one though.

I think they just pick anything at random that suits the year.
My Li that I registered in December came back with a Norwich number - LCL

This one is very informative:-

I have just done my first one with no problems and I got OGU***D, South East London, and I am in West Yorkshire.
