Possibly during mid-tour break in May 1977. Fourth and fifth characters of a UK license plate at the time indicated the age of the vehicle. So 1965 plus 12 = 1977. https://www.autoblog.com/2017/12/11/robert-plant-1965-aston-martin-db5-for-sale/ Edited March 20, 2020 by SteveAJones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this format of license plate - only used between 1963 and 1982 - the Final character indicates when vehicle was first registered for use on the road. (In the UK cars keep the same license plate forever - unless the owner has it changed). In this case the letter C. Which means the car was registered between January and December 1965. You can't tell when the photo was taken from the license plate. Edited March 20, 2020 by woz70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
