Does it matter where it's registered, as long as it's kosher and looked after?

My GTI was registered in Shrewsbury, I think.... 300 miles away from me!  :grin:

of course it doesn't matter where its registered.

in the old style number plates the last two letters were also where it was registered.

for instance:  R123 XMY  would also be manchester

however this obviously doesn't apply to private plates.
