Pre 1960 vehicles need an Mot for a number transfer for some reason, hence lots of tasty numbers on old tractors that can't be transferred as MOT not required for agricultural vehicles. Might be to stop a lot of false ID being created with old vehicles to get good numbers. -- Last edit: 2016-01-18 12:26:40

The shape of the underside of the sleeper extension confirms it as a 401, rather than a 400 -- Last edit: 2020-05-14 00:50:14
