My lad phoned me earlier to say though he'd not been looking for one, he'd spotted a 14 plate car.

I always used to look out for new reg plates 1st Aug every year, but these days forget about the new plates coming out.

Anyone else seen a new car today .... or even remembered to look out for one?

I tend not to think about it these days, not been the same since they moved it from 1st August...................

I saw one being driven on trade plates. The plate that was on the car was 'MY14REG', so obviously being delivered to a dealership.

Only remembered to start looking when I saw a 14 plated full fat Range Rover... shame it was white.

Seen plenty on the public roads last week

But a few dealers near work, the Audi one being huge and spread over several sites in this part of town.  I guess they should have trade plates on, but never rarely do. One was a sporty A4, sounded V8, being ragged up the dual carriageway. Nice way to treat a customer's car

Saw an x-drive 320 yesterday in sunny Perth while out for a stroll

Saw loads in the dealers earlier in the week

Did always look out for them in the August 1st days though

Exactly what is wrong with having a new registration every 1st January?

What could be more simple?

I believe that this sensible practice finished somewhere around 1967.

Dealers have got it sussed, if you have a new car it will seem old in 6 months now !

Done because the "industry" complained that they had a massive peak in sales in December then nowt for the rest of the year. So the "new reg twice a year" was brought in to "spread" the sales more evenly.

Seen my first one yesterday as I drove it out the showroom

D reg I think was the last one on 1st Jan 

I was wrong ...... it's E reg (1967 - I can be excused cos I was 5  ) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_the_United_Kingdom,_Crown_dependencies_and_overseas_territories

Gowd, I was 10, not a problem then, but catching up with me now.....

Don't think I ever look at car number plates unless it's needed. Couldn't care less what year it was made,it's just a number.
