very wierd.... but YG2S7 is just before a clubman GT which is YG2S6, so maybe its a really really early clubman and that's what they had.... assuming it's a large square alloy plate? got pics? |

Hmmm, The YG2S7 is the Mini Clubman. (Not Leyland, Not Morris but Mini Clubman) But seeing how the car number is 670 that would make it a very early Mini Clubman (car 170) There are two things I can think of... 1) Leyland was going to call the car the Morris Mini Clubman. 
or 2) They had a heap of Compliance plates already stamped with Morris left over from the Mini K and Cooper S and they just wanted to use them all up.

clubman GT is s2 8, not 6. June could be right for that number - very early GTs numbered less than 600 (100th car in reality) were stamped July. cheers! jon |

keep out of it cush... I though BMC was just the parent company? If the maker is BMC... shouldn't road transport change all the rego details |
