Opals and two-seaters

[Douglas Alderson]

My apologies.  I am actually away from home and suffering poor memory !
However, I have retrieved some scanned log books and I get a sense that Timothy may be right.  
It seems that DVLC (or whatever it was) accept whatever you write....

Has anyone else noticed the clerical error in e-richard's old logbook?  There's an "8" missing from the Car No.  

Careless book-keeping seems to be a relatively common problem, that in this case shouldn't matter.   I know of a number of cars with a similar slips of the pen, sometimes dating back to the early 'thirties and carried forward to the modern V5C.  

In one case that I've come across, a single incorrectly duplicated digit makes it very difficult to conclusively prove the connection between the document and the chassis - a detailed understanding of A7 numbering, a small "leap of faith" and some common sense would be required - and in the current climate at DVLA I suspect that it would almost certainly result in cancellation of the original registration.  Beware!

Missed the missing 8 but spotted that the date first registered changes between the documents...
