Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 that w reg looks like a private plate.. all you need to do is look at seatbelt tag for date of car. infact you cant even get a facelift UK car AFIK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Yes, very interesting - Ive seen a few cars now with numberplates dated forwards :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 It happens every now and again. According to my registration document the my car is a 2002 model. It was brought into the country in 2002 and rather than registering it as a 1996, they mistakenly did it as a 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted July 15, 2010 Author Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) Yeah from memory it had engine troubles and I believe It had a replacement! You looking at another Supra? Yes I am mate. An M3 has tickled my fancy but the insurance prices are daft..!! I'm sure this is a j-spec car on a private plate....

Gambit Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 The only thing uk here is the scoop and brakes as far as I can see. Some of the traders out there are so full of **it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I'm sure this is a j-spec car on a private plate.... The ad says its UK spec. But as you said, they might have lied. Cheap insurance for the buyer - but potentially means they are unisured ...very bad form by the traders of which we do not speak..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 looks like a nice car did razza not have a crash in this ? or was that another green car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 but this is a UK model not an Import (WELL AD SAYS ITS UK) Its never left the UK, so someone has "allowed this" I wouldn't go by that advert though. If it is a UK then it is certainly a mistake by someone. Really? What's your tax like? Still the same. I was fortunate enough not to have the test/thing done that means the tax hike. One of the other guys on here, who had a similar thing happen, wasn't so lucky. I'm sure this is a j-spec car on a private plate.... Even on a private plate you are not allowed to make your car appear newer than it is. The DVLA don't allow you to put personalised plates onto cars making them look younger. I have "L 5OOP", but I wouldn't be allowed "S 5OOP" if you get my meaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 The only thing uk here is the scoop and brakes as far as I can see. Indeed........... It's a J spec auto TT It's had some minor 'uk' visual mod's It was imported in 2000 and got assigned the W reg in error It is a facelift but not a VVti and so is a 96 or very early 97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
