The significance of the letter in the reg plate in the uk related to when the car was registered for use on the road . We pay a licence fee but the disc we get has to be fixed to the inside of the windscreen. The "w" reg you see in the post relates to the year of registration being 1980/81. Every August a new reg letter came into force. But in the last few years they ran out of letters and changed the system so as to allow two registration dates in a year.

I know that some personal/vanity plates are very expensive to obtain there in the UK The only significance here in the USA is 1. State of issue with current renewal year. example. I pay $60.00 for two years, per vehicle. 2. If the car has a vanity plate. Thank you. Mike Yahoo!
