New Car Facts Disc Provides A Digital Display Board
Classic enthusiasts can now create a digital version of the traditional laminated display board at classic vehicle shows and meets thanks to a new initiative called the Car Facts Disc.
The Car Facts Disc is a small piece of paper which fits snugly into a traditional tax disc holder. Displayed on the piece of paper is a QR code (similar to a barcode) which users can scan simply using the camera function on their smartphones. This then will take users to an online portal which displays the history of the vehicle including photos, videos and even information on purchasing the vehicle.
Founder and classic vehicle enthusiast Paul Tombs came up with the idea after years of attending owner’s club events and classic vehicle shows. Here he found that information about individual vehicles "was patchy at best, and often completely absent. With the Car Facts Disc I have created a really simple method for car fanatics, like me, to share our personalised trivia in a way that allows anyone with a smartphone...to view it quickly and easily"
Each disc costs £17 and can be purchased on their website.
