toyotasuprauk Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Take a look at the 2nd Supra down the page, its on a 53 plate: http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_search.asp?page=1&modelexact=1&lid=search_used_cars_full&make=TOYOTA&model=SUPRA&min_pr=6000&max_pr=&mileage=&agerange=&postcode=bn1+2be&miles=1500&max_records=50&source=0&photo=1&sort=3&ukcarsearch_full=SEARCH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 It happens. GreenPeace's Green Supra was regged as a W plate but was really a 1996 model, iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 At least they are advertising it as a '93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Picked up a 55 reg mr2 rev 3 turbo the other week. Rare as you like. . Dvla are getting sloppy on registering imports i think. Seen a few miss-reg's lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 TBH I really do not see the point in not allowing you to have areg that makes your car appear younger, after all the log book has the exact age of the car on it whats the point in being so strict about a reg plate.

Jake Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 The motor trade are against it, the (powerful) new car motor trade I mean. If you could make your older car appear newer than it is it would affect new car sales in a couple of ways that aren't in their favour. The whole switching to number plates changing every 6 months thing was bought about by pressure from the new car industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Plus you have the loophole with private plates and the DVLA in order to get a newer plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 Would be nice to have a Supra with a 53 plate. Only problem everyone that knew anything about them would think you just stole the number plate to commit crime etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
