Subject: Re: [doc] Car number plates
My car is a Nov 81, so it should be an X reg if I'd had a plate
issued by the DVLA - I had already bought a private plate for the car
on a retention certificate so they actually issued it over the
counter - I was told that an age-related plate would take them 5
weeks to send! so I was glad to have a plate ready!
As for whether it would have been an X as it should be, or a W as I
think it would be, would be down to the 1st reg date they put on the
vehicle reg document. To try to get it registered properly I even
gave them a large picture of the vin plate with the month NOV 81
clearly circled, and the guy at the DVLA took it - however, even
though I gave them this info the reg document still came back to me
with the 1st registered date of Jan 81 ! so, if I ever wanted an age
related plate I would have to have a W I suspect!!
Bizarre eh ..

Whilst hunting around I found and spoke to
Buyerservicesinternational.com an english guy Paul was very helpful
and steered me in the right direction to the point that when I'd
found a potential Delorean they would and could arrange for around
$275 including photo's and a test drive a 150 point report similar to
the AA report. As already mentioned both Martin at DMUK and Chris
Parnham can also be more than helpful, Martin particually once the
car was in the UK was fantastic-Oh and a special thanks to Dan Shane.
