    Thanks, so that means all the ones first registered in Qld before some time in the seventies (i.e all Series 1, probably all 2/2a and possibly early S3) were done on paper, and transferred to computer later. And when were regional offices all hooked up to the computer? or did they continue initial input on paper and send them to HO for transfer for a while.

    No idea where the work was done. Only ones currently registered at the time were data input. I know that initially all number plates were issued from Brisbane for many years and posted to non-metropolitan clients. Then certain regional offices were able to issue plates. Numbers in Qld. were only used once and could not be transferred to another vehicle. Personalised plates when they appeared were and still are able to be transferred from vehicle to vehicle. Nowadays one can pay to get the original number for a restored vehicle or one returning to service after a period of de-registration. The onus of proof that it is the same vehicle is on you. Make/model now come off the computer listing so no confusion there even if the TMR have it wrong as they have done. Odd and rare makes cause problems if the computer says "no such". I know a couple of guys who ran up against this bureaucratic brick wall. One had restored a 1920's Hall & Scott he bought in the USA and the other was an obscure early veteran whose make I can't remember. Another had to produce all sorts of evidence to convince TMR that his 1949 Kurtis Sports Car existed when the computer said it did not. Understandable as only 14 were made and none came to Australia until he imported his about 2013. The Hall & Scott was a light truck chassis bodied as a large touring car. Monster engine. Only one in Australia.

    So I found another 5 Series under the "Rover" make (2 x S3 and 3 x S2A) bringing the total count to 797, so not many more really.
    Table below is the body shape classification ... as mentioned by others this could have been influenced by different costs for registration classes over the years so unlikely to reflect what is actually on the road.
    Rego data says there are only 5 Series 3 soft tops in QLD, somehow I don't think that is quite right

    So the summary of this is that if you have a green Series 3 utility you're not alone, there are 67 of you ... but if you have white Series 2 utility, you're one of a kind
    I've got a Camino Gold Series 3 wagon so I'm somewhere in the middle (I guess its a wagon ... compliance plate says Hardtop, not registered yet so I'll wait and see what they choose).
