Hi rld14,

When i get a bit of spare time i will have a look through your albums.

There were some strange anomolies in registering cars over here in the past. Up until 1983, when a car was imported into this country it was given that date of registration for example a 57 Chevy imported in 1980 would be given a V suffix and no one saw this as a problem.

The more unscrupulous people out there had worked out that you could have for example a 1978 Mini export it to Northern Ireland in 1980 and register it leave for a few months then re-import it to the UK and instead of having a T reg suffix Mini you would have a W reg suffix Mini, big money to be made selling 3 year old cars off as 1 year old cars.

Nowadays over here you cannot put a registeration plate on any car that makes it appear to be newer than it really is although you can put one on that makes it appear older. The car that you pointed out can legaly keep the number it was issued with as in the photo although the owner could also contact a vehicle licensing and request an age related plate for his vehicle which the office would supply free of charge, with this particular car it would be given what we call a 3 and 3 ie 3 letters and 3 numbers.

Here is the example i mentioned earlier.1957 Chevy Wagon imported 1980

1970 GTO imported 1973

Cheers.

Russ,

Ah HA! Thanks for that. I saw that car and was scratching my head.. I think that I'm one of the only Yanks who is familiar with UK plates... but I saw that and couldn't figure it out for the life of me.

Thanks for posting that (I think) Mk2 Ford with the PA Tail lamp lenses too, that's amazing.
