Morning All

We must be coming up-to having a first 20th birthday of a Trophy - I think the first cars were registered in June 2005 -

Having just HPI’d #001 it was registered 20 June 2005 - is this the first or is there an earlier car ???

Mine is 15th July 2005 -

Let us know when your 20th Birthday celebrations are below before I end up HPI’ing every car

It seems the No6 Press Car was the earliest registered car, HK05ZPR - 13th June 2005

No3 HT05BYO was reg’d 15th June 2005, so was Harry Metcalfes No4 HT05CCA and No5 HT05CAV…

No1 HT05BZX and No2 HT05CAX were reg’d on 20th June 2005

Must have been a bit of a Tax Book lottery for the Press Cars!

The only one that could possibly be registered earlier is 000, but I cant find it’s full reg no, its HT05***

if anyone else knows the full reg to check??

How do you guys check the registration date? I need to check how soon I need to buy candles...
DVLA say September, no specific date. One of the last ones probably (442)
