Drifting here but...
Yes, I guess we'd better let this get back to vehicles spotted.
Love your tale of the buses though
RAF did it all the time during WWII while rebuilding wrecked aircraft, but I think there was a bit of a rule that the section which carried the manufacturer's plate was the ID of the rebuilt aircraft.
There’s a similar problem with GPO BSA Bantam motorbikes from the days of telegrams. The GPO had a system of fleet numbers painted on the tank and as long as the fleet number and number plate tallied they didn’t bother about the serial numbers. They’ve survived in quite good numbers but if one is barn found with an old RF60 log book it is likely that nothing will agree and DVLA will not allow retention of the original number as they don’t recognise the fleet number.
Yes , indeed, so to get it back on track (although, ironically, it wasn't today but last Saturday ) I spotted a nice, old, black early 1000 (with trafficators) parked near to Truro Rail Station. It had a Cornish registration number too - *CV
