Below are photographs of plates where the specific area of registration cannot officially be identified, including diplomatic, military, import, trade and personalised series. Below also includes the 'Q' reg system which denotes a vehicle with an "unidentified" year of manufacture.
Personalised Plates
In the current system, JA to JY and TA to TY (except TN which was issued in Scotland) are not issued geographically but can be used as cherished numbers. Any age identifier can be used as long as it does not make the vehicle appear newer than it actually is. |
