Yeah sorry V23 is Police talk... I think its a marker they put on the car to inform us its been involved in an accident so if one is stopped it is checked thoroughly in case of being a ringer. Something like that anyway..
I only found out after I left my car at work in the yard. Someone thought it was an Lost or stolen at the time as I had the steering cowling off as my mate was working on the electrics for me so they did a check on it. I knew the op and they said it had a V23... so that was the first time I knew about it.. Sould have clicked really when I had a VIC certificate in the history. What a plum eh.
