As far as I know, you're not permited to make a vehicle appear younger than it actually is by it's registration plate, private plate or not.

Agreed - didn't they STOP making these 1990?

How can they say it is a 1997?

Correct Vince - I wanted to buy one and the leaflets (or website dvla) clearly state its a big no no.

I would say report them to trading standards - well dodgy.

Not necessarily.

Up until a few years ago, imported vehicles were given registration numbers current at time of import

I'm not sure exactly when the law changed, but if it was after 1997, and this was imported in 1997, the DVLA would have allocated a 1997 plate.

Now, if the seller claims it's a 1997 motor, (s)he's breaking the law, but if (s)he just says "R reg", it's legal

Of course, if the law changed before then, someone ought to report him/her.

? Mine was imported in Dec 2002, purchased in March 2003. The log book says made in Dec 1992.

A thread was running a couple of weeks back explaining how to read the vin plate. I checked and mine was made in Dec 1992. And its plated for K 1992.

? Not sure what I'm trying to say?? I hate old age!
