Very cool 8) Hoping the original owner of mine will be able to find the first couple of tax discs for the car, got them all from 1978-2011 but nothing before then :(

Very cool 8) I nearly said something about paying £7 for a tiny disc of paper but then I remembered I pay £215 a year for one as it is :roll: :lol:

I got mine from the same guy.
Only thing to be picky about it, is the tax disc is not punched around the outside edge. So I made a cutter and went round mine before carefully cutting it out so it looked even more like the real thing :shock: :wink:
