Tax discs and old log books seem to change hands on eBay for what I always think are ridiculous amounts of money especially as there is usually little chance of establishing a claim to the number! |

I've been collecting them since I was a boy and they are a very easy collection to store. Mine are in a small brown paper bag but having looked in the place I expected to find them I must have moved them to a "safer" place!
If memory serves me correctly my oldest is a rather boring post war disc from an ex-army lorry used for lime spreading like this one.

Peter- that is an interesting C.M.P. truck. I see that it has full height doors, and that there are small lamps in front of the original headlamps. I have never seen either of those fitments before.
Rick, in Victoria (Australia) the device serving the purpose of your tax disc, was a water-soaked decal, which had to be affixed to the windscreen. Each year, several minutes with a razor blade were needed to remove same in order to affix the new one _________________ Dane- roverdriver but not a Viking. |

There are a couple of early seventies decals still attached to one of the ute's quarterlights.

Yes I know I'm ressurecting an old thread but have just found this hidden in a book.
Wondering if it has any real value, also interesting to note it cost £60 in 1929.

A very nice disc and certainly has a value worth preserving but I would doubt that it has the value of £60 today.
The way that it has been trimmed is interesting too. I wonder if that was implied by the printing on the untrimmed sheet?

That's a lovely piece of History, I would say its worth a fair price to a collector as its from a steam lorry.
I have a few older discs, I just can't seem to part with any of the old memorabilia! _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |
