well, strangest things happen at sea as they say, when i had this A40 PFF 900 it had been re-registered which was also the number that was on it with the previous owner, well a little digging a year or so ago & sending in the V888 application form to DVLA i found out what the original registration was & that being YHR 40, well today just after i had had my dinner break just outside Newark i moved off & within 100 yrds or so i saw this Citroen Belingo estate coming towards me & low & behold guess what the registration was, yes you guessed it YHR 40!!, what chances of that happening, i must do the lottery now!
