Product Information

The region where the car was first registered, as well as the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) office for the specific area, are displayed on all number plates in the UK in use today.

Using London as an example again, if a number plate regional identifier shows an L and an A, it means the car was registered in Wimbledon. If it displays the letters L and Y, the car was first registered in Sidcup.

Archived from the original on 21 September 2008.As well as yielding many more available numbers, it was a way for vehicle buyers to know the age of the vehicle immediately. However, the year letter changing on 1 January each year meant that car retailers soon started to notice that buyers would tend to wait until the New Year for the new letter to be issued, so that they could get a "newer" car. This led to major peaks and troughs in sales over the year, and to help flatten this out somewhat the industry lobbied to get the scheme changed, so that the change of year letter occurred on 1 August rather than 1 January.
