Title: Plaque d'immatriculation..(registration plate)
Post by: Carl_G on August 28, 2010, 06:14:44 PM

Hi, could anyone shed any light on a number found on the registration plate of a 1920s Terrot.
Rubbing down the plate for painting revealed another number painted before the expected departmental number. It reads 522-K3.
Anyone got any ideas?.
Cheers, Carl G

French registration numbers underwent a huge reorganisation about 1945 I think, somewhere I have alist of the older system, I will post it if I can find it.
What you have is the older number.

Thankyou for the link.I'll pass it on to the owner who is back in Holland. Terrot was a bit of a puzzle Found in a cellar .May have been a 225cc? single cylinder but the cyl head didn't appear correct for the age of the machine. I'm in UK at the present. I'll see if I have any information on the other computer when I get it set up. Watch  this space,,,,,,,Trying for Dutch papers for it to many problems trying to re register it in France
