suprasport Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 what is it with these reg cars, is it when they were imported, or when they were first registered, seems strange that they were sat around this long before sold. or am i just having a thick day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 There aren't many real 200x Supras in the UK. They were still very expensive before the ESVA model report introduction and so weren't imoprted much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 when i got mine as a new import it was basically have a 54 plate, or get a private one that fits the age... I went for the latter... don't be fooled by the plate on any JSpec.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasport Posted January 12, 2006 Author Share Posted January 12, 2006 so it is when they were first registered in japan then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffvalenti Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 so it is when they were first registered in japan then ? It should be, but sometimes the DVLA screw up and issue a plate based on the date of first registration in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 mine was first reg in October 1996, so I have a P plate... You can tell by the VIN plate when it was registered / manufactured... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-K Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 it works like this : the Letter,. like K or p denotes the year of manafacter,. the number, like 02 etc, denotes year of import. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 You're meant to be given an "age related plate". Strictly speaking it should match the year of manufacture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
