lic no
the Salvage yards Licence


Explanation:
I too thought it was the license no of the car, But I just remembered that cars coming into a salvage yard don't use license plate numbers to record the vehicle, they use a chassis and engine number. and all salvage yards have to have a license to operate and this must be on every form.

This license must be renewed every year. this is why the expiry date. matches the 07 on the end of the number. (of course all countries have a different numbering and licensing system, examples below)
Mo/yr exp 10/07
Lic no - AAA 122-07

neutral  Gary D: Mike, I had to change my agreement, as I just remembered it being dirfferent, all number plates are removed at the time of salvage and the vehicles mostly had false plates fitted, so they only use chassic numbers. yes it is the salvage yards License

  -> I assume that this procedure probably differs from one English-speaking country to antther, "plate" is in parentheses and only for those countries that keep the tag in the salvage yards. The number is too short for the chassis number.
