Re: [doc] License plates

["claire_usher71" <claire@xxxx>]

GB licence plate suffix's at the time the DeLoreans were in 
production were:

01.08.80 - 31.07.81 - W
01.08.81 - 31.07.82 - X
01.08.82 - 31.08.83 - Y - etc, etc

Flopsy is a July 81 build and has a W reg, DGS is a November 81 and 
has an X reg. When I got Flopsy registered at our local DVLA, they 
said if there is no documentation to say when in a particular year a 
vehicle was built they will always give it the earlier suffix so that 
you then dont get a car looking younger then it actually is.

This may well explain why some DeLoreans in England are carrying W 
reg plates when they should have X reg plates.

Of course there is nothing stopping anyone buying a 'dateless' 
registration of their own and fixing it to the car either.

Hope this clarifies things for you Thomas,

as the original, incase you are getting it to make the car seem 
younger.
