I'm just intrigued... what's the story behind this pre-98 52-plate?
The plate didn't seem distinctive enough to have been bought as a personalised one.

Didn't realise you got the current reg if you re-register. Can I have a 53 on mine?

That's just it... I don't know if you do, but those are the only reasonable explanations I can think of at the moment. Apart from wearing falsies, while waiting to do a bank job (can you hear me TelBoy?) . For which, let's face it, the scoob is the car of choice

You can't have a plate newer than the plate at the time it was registered. I guess this is one that has sat around unregistered for a long time. It does happen - there's a very few Capris out there on E prefixes!

Question

If it's just been imported- JDM, say, would that be a new plate?

No.
You get the registration letter of its year of registration/manufacture in Japan. So my car imported this year has a letter M registration as that was the year of first registration in Japan and the "declared manufactured" year on the V5 is 1995.

Could be either someones ploy to fool others, ilegally.
or, a car that sat in store for a good few years,
or, a car that was built from all new parts inc shell, the declared new at registration.
wierd either way!
