When was scoobys first made
The reason i ask is i'm having trouble getting parts from motor factors etc because they say my car is not a J reg because they were never made that early.
It is an import he reckons it is a mistake by dvla but i'm unsure.
If so what do you reckon i should do.
Thank you

Very late 1992 is the earliest that you will find. The first production cars were delivered months after the 'J' prefix was replaced (November 1992).

Mine is registered in June 1993 and I don't it's an import, well there are all imports but you know what I mean. Mine is on a JBZ plate (N'orn I'ron number plate system)

The Impreza range was launched in Japan on 22nd October 1992, then in the UK on 17th May 1993. But the Turbo didn't come to the UK until a year later.
So a K plate is the oldest you can get unless a private plate has been fitted.

all of the code tells you what the car really is
eg.
GC8A48D =
GC= saloon 8 = engine turbo A= MY93 4= Number doors 8 model type WRX D= 5speed Transmission
GC8D48D = MY97 WRX 4 door
GC= saloon 8 = engine turbo D= MY96 4= Number doors 8 model type WRX D= 5speed Transmission
GF8C58D = MY95 WRX 5 door
GF= wagon 8 = engine turbo D= MY95 5= Number doors 8 model type WRX D= 5speed Transmission

Don't know where you're from but IMO motor factors/halfrauds are sh1te for Subaru parts.
The world is your oyster, to coin a phrase, for suppliers who will actually know what you're asking about.

when buying parts, just say its a 93 plate as it just seems like a DVLA **** up like mentioned earlier, then u dont have to get the hassle with factors saying they got no info for that year
