Double Digit Registration Plates - A 480 Phenomenon?
Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2020 10:49 pm
Hello folks,
Was just looking at the turbos on sale via eBay this evening, and noticed both have registration plates with only 2 digits (one is K37*** and the other is F52***). My current wedge is L41*** and I previously owned a red ES M69*** (now defunct I think, as no MOT for 5 years)
I'm pretty sure at least one of the cars on the last mini-meet had a double digit plate too, and I got to thinking whether there was some odd quirk with the marque, that somehow increased their chances of early registration, or allocation of shorter plates than the usual 3 digits? I may be way off with this, of course, given that four of my other wedgies all had 'conventional' 3 digit plates (J339***, M279*** M373*** and one I can't remember...doh!)
Anyone else got an original 2 digit plate?
All the best!
Martin
