Hi there to all members ,

Thanks in advance for any help.

Should be no problem with either text or numbers on here - ABC 456. How long ago did your father own the car? The Swansea computer was set up in the 1980s and owners were asked to transfer details to it upon which they issued a V5 to replace the old registration book R.F.60. This applied to all vehicles including those that were not taxed or on the road at the time.
