Where your car was registered and where it is now?

The area code on my zs is BP, so just out of curiousity i looked up where it was registered....turns out to be Birmingham. It then ended up in Dundee at about 9 months old and now it's with me in Inverness at 3 an 1/2, so has fairly migrated north!! Just got me wondering where everyone else's began registered life and where they have ended up now!! Popped into the AA route planner and mine has travelled this far north

From: Inverness,Highland

To: Birmingham,Birmingham

Distance: 447.7 miles

Time: 8 hr 24 min

Pretty sure i could easily get there in less thean 8hr 24 though

Mine is down as registered in Stanmore, first owner an MGR employee 8 miles away then found its second and current owner 70 miles south outside Portsmouth

So not that far really.

Mine was Newcastle and only owner was in Yarm before I travelled down and brought it back to Perth.

Jim if its only owner was in yarm why would it be registered in newcastle.

Cant make out your reg but it looks like NV which is Stockton not far from yarm and miles away from Newcastle.

This will probably go for other areas also.

Our First 180 had a N plate but that does not mean it was registered in newcastle it was actually registered in Sunderland

The prefix letter is only the area of the local DVLA office and not where the car was registered.
