This has nothing to do with Land Rovers (oh damn, forgot the hyphen). . .
Land-Rovers, but there are people who can probably explain this.
Tonight I was reading in the Telegraph about a young policeman who had gone
off with a very much younger school girl. The newspaper referred to the
fact that he had left his "K-registered Volvo" behind.
I know that Britain uses letters to designate the year when a vehicle was
registered or manufactured, I can't remember which.
My question is, why refer to some cryptic letter instead of saying for
example, a 1989 Wonder Car Supreme?
I also know that the lettering scheme has had many changes over the years
and does not always follow logic. If so, how does the average person get
by when newspapers in Britain, and I have noticed the same thing on the
BBC, refer to letter registrations?
And come to that. Just what year is Doctor Who's runabout? WHO1
