Title: Car registration numbers question.
Post by: Ken L on 04 June 2010, 10:46:47
I thought I knew how this system worked, but now a bit confused, can anyone shed some light on this please?

1996 -N or P, 1997-P or R, 1998- R or S, 1999-S or T, 2000-T or V ??? My Omega was 1998 S reg, my son has an Astra first registered november 1999, also on an "S" plate, and I have just bought a jeep first registered september 1999 on a "V" plate that would mean S,T and V all 1999 and as far as I'm aware "W" is 2000.

Any comments?

T starts 1st March '99

That's why for example u may have an 'S' reg car but bought it in 1999 so if you sell it u put 'S' - 1999 & so on!!

Yes very confusing as Mr Skruntie has said  :y
