A tax disc is no longer an accepted item (nor, probably, is an MOT certificate); there must be clear documentation that links the registration number to a specific chassis or car number. An original log book is obviously ideal, but something like an import or export document or a sales invoice that quotes both numbers should be suitable. Copies of documents are acceptable so long as they are authenticated by a recognised authority - in Colin's case the library official was obviously satisfactory, as would be an official from somewhere like the Kithead Trust, whereas in the case of your MG, Tony, presumably there was no document which actually quoted both numbers to show that one belongs to the other.
