Yvonne,

Try this one for size ... they are sub-pages of the DVLA.

In my "I-Spy" book of car numbers :-) , YC was the registration for
Somerset. This means that the car was originally bought in Somerset, but the
car would normally have kept the same registration, wherever it went in the
UK until it was scrapped. In Somerset the plates used to be issued by the
County Council. For many years the service has been centralised at the
Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in Wales. People can also buy
novelty plates from the DVLA, e.g. a magician has bought the number MAG 1 C.

Here is the main welcome page for the DVLA.
