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

Gold is sooo retro. ;)

The simplest fix would be to re-spray it in gold.

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.... :lol:

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!!!!!

Seen so many of their mistakes over the years that I always keep a colour copy of anything I send them.
