 Posted: Thu Jan 01, 2009 2:29 pm Post subject: Example of a age related number? |
 |
|
Hi
My dad has asked me to explain what an age related number plate looks like, so can someone give me an example, I have tried looking on google to no avail. I have never had to have an age related one so don't really know!
Cheers

The term 'age related number plate' has got nothing whatsoever to do with the way it looks. The term is normally used when a private plate has been tranferred to another vehicle and an 'age related number' is then allocated to the original vehicle.
This if it was pre-War the 'correct' plate may be black with silver alloy numbers / letters and if it was a modern vehicle the correct plate would be the yellow / white reflective type. |

Because my P2 came from Australia it has been issued with an 'age related number plate' which consistes of 3 letters and 3 numbers. If it had been a 1966 car it would be issued with 3 letters 3 numbers plus a 'D' at the end....hence age related

I was told that they usually have a U or an X in the reg as DVLA have a harder time selling them as there are few peoples names initials U or X.
I might even have read it on here! |

Age related plates are usually non-transferrable

Hi
The number that my dad is on about is black/silver, but I am sure an age related plate is recognizable, opposed to an original, I just can't remember what they look like, maybe it is just the ones I have seen that look different.
Cheers

Yeah do they have 3 letters, three numbers and a letter or something alike.
I know that if you claim you original number back, like on my Ford, it is then safe with that vehicle and can't be transfered again.
Surely it will be the same wit an age related number you are given, but I wondered if you could purchase a private number that has been taken off a vehicle, three letters and three numbers to make it look right, I know you may be classed as supporting the number trade as it were, but at least it would go back on an similar aged vehicle instead of the toffs Rolls Royce up the road?
Cheers

yup you could always buy a 'private plate' and put it onto a classic that has a re-issued, or age-related, number, to make it look better. The Dodge for instance, which has never been road registered, now has a 3 letter code ending in AS, one of several popular sequences which often gives away a non-original, or re-issued number.
Other examples end in SK, SL, FF and the like.

Mine has an "X" and a "U" in the plate!
Not transferable as 47p2 posted.

If you're referring to the plate design then that will be different for each "age".
I don't know the respective years offhand but my 1953 tonkatoy is on black and silver plates, with three numbers and three letters.

In France we are not allowed the black plates any more IF we reregister or change departments, they are still around as they were here up to 1990 but now they are illegal on renewal which is a shame as the classics look odd without them
I still put them on the DS but I took a chance I wouldn't get fined.
Jan 1st starts a new life time registration system without department numbers, so things are going to change again

Hi
Thats great everyone, Just obscure letters, I think it won't matter one bit for my dad, but he could allways private plate it to hide it, so no worries there.
Like I mentioned above and as Brian has posted (Cheers Brian, I will show this my dad) the reg in question is '56 so will be:
Die Pressed 3 1/2" Aluminium 16G
According to the web Brian posted.
If I pop an engine on the penny maybe that doesn't need registering as it is pre 1894! he he  Rick you going to see me buzzing around on a motor penny!!
Cheers
