There are some gaps in information which are partly filled as follows.
L876MVX - Vauxhall 1699cc White diesel
M432BGP - Vauxhall 1998cc Red petrol
M755CGT - Vauxhall 1686cc Red diesel - for export!

The exact make is not on the website but you can get some info (as above) from www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk

Thanks for the pointer to the vehicle licensing website Ray. This looks like a useful reference. Put in a reg and make and it gives you the license expiry, first registration date, engine capacity, basic colour and some other less useful info. I tried a couple of SVs and the first registration date came out as either the same (or a day before) as the vehicle new dates supplied officially from CDS. Can anyone confirm if CDS/DS/JNP register the vehicles themselves? Perhaps an easier question would be has anyone seen brand new vehicles going in to Acton on trade plates?

The registration plate may give a clue. These usually show the manufacturer/supplier. If common ie 'London Buses', then they may be registering themselves. If mixed names (dealers) then they could be already registered prior to purchase/supply. Ray
