FJB series numbers were issued by Berkshire county between July 1949 and November 1949. I would suggest yours was a September car. Has the MM club any other FJB's listed which may give a clue as to supplying dealers in the county in those days? Busguy

Is requesting a Heritage Certificate an option? If you have a couple of months, that is. This will show where and when it was delivered. Nothing to do with reg though.
DVLA doesn't have it on record I suppose?

I enquired about a convertible once which was Q plate, and was told that wasn't tax exempt... so I think he's right.

Post porduction convertibles registered on a Q plate are a different case to the average minor - however with a bit of assistance from the right people you can avoid a Q plate anyway.
You should be able to keep the FJB plate. I manbaged to keep my DTB plate on the 57 despite having no original documentation. I used a BMIHT certificate together with the V765 form.
These days you also need to get the forms approved by the relevant club (the MMOC in our case), but that is a simple process and was done was quick + helpful when I did it on the PDC car

Isn't it clear Minor production stopped in '73? Even sooner for the saloons.

You're expecting logic to apply to the Great British DVLA

Steve, get in touch with Rob Thomasson (his details are in Minor Matters) - he deals with getting original plates issued with the DVLA via the MMOC!
