It's bound to happen. Dealers are allocated reg numbers in blocks which tend to have sequential numbers, and they're bound to be registering a lot of similar cars.

When I did the cumbrian scoobs "raid across the border" in 2002, although I had my private reg before then, I had to do a double take on the silver my99 uk turbo in front of me! My reg had been V151 DAO, his reg WAS V152 DAO !
made me chuckle

Both from Stan Palmers in Carlisle.

Importers will tend to get the cars registered at their local DVLA office.

Not sure exactly how the numbers are allocated, but when a freind and myself imported WRXs in 2000, the cars were registered about 2 months apart - but only 2 nos in the reg were different!

When I got my new one the dealers had a block list of registrations (new style) differing just by the last letter. As this particular block had something that looked a "bit" like WRX, they were reserving them for WRX's, so I expect that about 20 WRXs are out there with numbers very similar to mine.
