Tell me about it! I am just about to change my vehicle and transfer my
pp to it at a cost of the £80 but I usually keep my vehicle for a good
7 - 10 years so is not too bad. But what a palaver about your friends
story. I was only looking through that auction site for my daughter &
noticed that Yam plate straight away so I searched for a relevant ng
and this one was the one he he apologies accepted. When you say lack

I am sorry its not me selling its on the dvla auction site, I have no
connection with this plate. thought I would just pass onto this group
the info. To be honest though you woul not even need to place a screww
in between the 11 as by the eye it reads YAMAHA last time I had a
connection with Yamaha was on my FS1E DX in the late 70's
