"I have an old tax disc holder that contains 5 old tax discs for Bentley Reg no. PH 8552. They date from 1949 - 1953. We bought a box of tools at an auction and they were in the box. I'm not sure why, as we live in Cornwall England and the stamp on the disc says Surrey, so not sure how they ended up in Cornwall unless the owners of the car at that time lived here."
