1885 think it would have been a horse and cart!!!

AUG 1984- JULY 1985 = C Reg
AUG 1985- JULY 1986 = D Reg

If it was the 1900s you meant

Aug 84 to Jul 85 was B
Aug 85 to Jul 86 was C

I can remember the dates clearly because my first brand new car was a June registered A plater in 1984

was going to wait for B reg but the dealer was selling off a pre registered demo GTE at a price not to be missed

Next one was an Oct 87 E plater

Hi Plank
Welcome back, I've missed your wise counsel on the posts recently. I'd be interested in what you've been up to in your posting absence but only if you care to share it with the rest of the world? (You out on parole or something similar??? :-)
Kindest regards CL
