The question was 'What are you?'
So here is my reasoned guess.
Not sure about old plates, but the first letter of new plates is the regional identifier.
W is the Westcountry
C is wales (Cymru)
V is Hereford/Worcester (not sure of the logic here!)
B is Birmingham
Thats all I know...
But following that logic, and assuming that old plates followed the same rules... E could be East Anglia or Essex
Not sure what make/model
But assuming somebody is driving a late 90's car in Essex, I would guess its an escort or something which would make the answer to the question:
You are a CHAV!
I might be a long way wide of the mark though...

good reasoning thumper. not right but you get top marks for showing your working.
all the clues are in your last post. also the type of vehicle is important.

Well with a big assist from the H man.
Which club have played every season in the bottom division of the English football league since 1974 having not been promoted or relegated in the interim?

I know this one. No wild stabs needed here.
It would be Rochdale.
Although I think they are a cert to end that record this year.
