U.K. MINIs and the cartax badge.

I have been very interested in one of these and was wondering of anyone out there in the U.K. could take a pic of theirs and if possible be willing to trade and expired on for something that you can only get in the U.S. maybe a Hawaii license plate or something I can dig up. PM me or post I am would love to start trading accross the pond for things related to MINI.

Ya I from what I have read about it can be place anywhere on your car. Do you anything else that is European specific too? How about this pics of the Tax badges and if you are part of a Euro Mini Club a club badge if you have one and I will trade you for said Hawaii tag.

I used to see expired "tax discs" pop up on ebay from time to time. I was planning on getting one for my MINI (I already have a matching set of GB number plates), but alas - I no longer see these listings on ebay anymore...

I ended up getting an autobahn toll sticker the last time I was in Switzerland. Not quite the same effect as a UK tax disc, but euro nonetheless.

So no one I know it is a US forum but I figured there would be some Euro peeps that would want to trade.

I've looked at these sites in the past. So far I haven't found any that would do a 2003 or 2004 tax disc to match my '04 MCS (first registered in Dec 03).

Porthos, I'm a member of a UK MINI club in Nottinghamshire. I was reading a post recently there about custom made holders for those. Here is their site: http://www.nottsminiclub.co.uk/

The tax disc on my MCS runs out the end of Nov If anyone in the "colonys" wants it, I'll be more than happy to pop it in an envelope,

Anyone got old UK license plates (number plates) lying around that they'd be willing to trade for Alaska plates?
