Morris Minor Owners Club

And this is my 1969 Ex GPO Telephones van. Originally yellow and given a D registration in error [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1443439905_25114 [/frame] Actually I was wrong. This was indeed a 1966 van and the BVB 493D registration was correct. It was the DVLA who led us all to believe...

Thanks 'Many Minors' you are absolutely right, although I didn't know that when I first had the van. I thought a previous owner had swiped the van wheels for their own use and fitted the standard wheels.

A little digging into it's history alerted the DVLA to their mistake from 1969 before records were centra...

Interestingly, this was not a 1966 van despite the number plate. It was built in 1969 and the registration mark allocated came from an old batch held on file at Croydon Council when it was registered. A request to the DVLA for it's history has revealed the error and the DVLA have now altered the reg...

Hi,

Just letting you know I'm now the owner of BVB 493D, and it now looks a little different.
