Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / October 2004G-WAC
Just up the road from me is a Range Rover with the reg. G--- WAC. I thought this sort of number was only used for the launch of the Discovery?

Anything with the extension *AC is normally registered at the solihull local DVLA (as it was then) so you get PAC's MAC's and WAC's most notably. It just so happens that many of the early Discos were released on G plates registered at Solihull as was the Rangie you have seen. They hold little other value other than being Solihull registered Landrovers. I had 1983 Rangie that was registered by Landrover. Sales reps will often latch onto this and give some cock and bull pampered by Landrover story, like they would know! Many of the early G WAC discos have gone by the way side because of Cherrished transfers. So some early previously G WAC's are now technically hidden from those who's desire burns to own one. I've transfered cherrished numbers several times and It's only when I bung in a post-it note request with my application I get the previous number back. This is usually beacause I still have the old plates to put on or the windows have been etched. A bit of useless info but there you go :-) Our current Rangie was also sold to us as a local vehicle due to it's reg prior to the one it has on now. Load of Bull as it was origionally registered Miles away. Makes little difference regardless unless it's registered to a local salt mine.

This is significant on a Discovery as it would make it a very early model, but it's nothing special on a Rangie.

AIUI (some) of the G-WAC discos were press pre-launch vehicles and late prototypes and such. I dunno if they all were, and I daresay someone has a list of the relevant numbers. The equivalent Range Rovers are YVB-H IIRC, although I think there're one or two with other numbers.

We have a number of G-WACSs in the club, some are press, some were managers vehicles and some were early sales models. SignatureJono 1) Is it blue? 2) Do you live in Bedford Mark. > Just up the road from me is a Range Rover with the reg. G--- WAC.
