Maybe they're trying to tell you that there's already too many red/black minis around!
Gold is sooo retro.

Re: yet another dvla screw-up
The simplest fix would be to re-spray it in gold.

Re: yet another dvla screw-up
having gold on dvla system is no good on a red mini when a moody traffic cop with ANPR is following you with an appetite for "having sombodys trousers down" as he is having a bad day....

Re: yet another dvla screw-up
I heard about a DVLA "screw up" last night that would make any classic car owner sh1t his pants.
Unfortunately I am not at liberty to relate the particular story.
Suffice to say that at least it was only the colour that came back wrong in this particular case!!!!!

Re: yet another dvla screw-up
Seen so many of their mistakes over the years that I always keep a colour copy of anything I send them.
