This is a bit random I know, but I was looking the other day at the oldest NTV section of rj2para's site ( www.hondantv.co.uk/noldestbytype.php) and I see Jup's Revere (Nov 88) is oldest... Well, it turns out this new project I recently acquired (reg F251 CKK) was first registered 6th August 1988.... I can't find the exact launch date of the Revere in the UK (anybody know?) - launch roadtests are in the July 88 mags... Anyway, I reckon this one must be one of the first/early registered ones in the August reg changeover. KK area code I think is Kent? Or used to be... Though I have to say that Jup's Revere is lovely and this one, as you can see, is not !! (yet)

forgot to say, reg ends LK, so london registered.
if anyone knows how the engine and frame numbers go, it would be interesting to know where in the production run my one was?
cheers,
Lee

mine is PC22-2000016 PC22E-2000017 so that would make it #14 off the line? pretty cool in a kind of sad anorak way ;D
