Your right, its an 03 plate...

Maybe he was one of the ones whos truck was a fresh import an registered wrong... Im not sure on what road tax would be on a 3.0ltr on a 03 plate... but i bet its more then we pay!

[dieselboy]

well thats not right, because doesnt the plate have to reflect its age?
isnt that why they stopped all the Qs ?

You can have any reg. number available, but it not to make the vehicle appear younger than it's manufacture date.

which makes this against regulations then.

dodgy plate = dodgy sale. also, when selling a motor on ebay if you enter the reg number in the listing (it doesn't get shown on the listing except 1st digit/letter) the buyer can check the cars hp history.

i always steer clear of any car on ebay that doesn't have this.

Someones gonna be paying lots of road tax with that reg!

You'd think they'd have this sorted by now - Surfs imported into the UK for how long?????????

And yeah - heavy on the tax for that truck

oil changes every six months, that'll be good then if hes been doing 15,000 a year

[craigl]

never seems to amaze me ebay sometimes... darn am bidding on this truck! Oh well. Did anyone clock this one that just finished:

Over £1500 as a non runner? Would have thought that whoever took it in part chop knew realised how bad it was else would have sorted it themselves via the old boys network.

Seller must be rubbing their hands together.

I keep searching for 3 lts to replace the beast but all that come along at a goood price look dodgy .....the plate on this one made it stand out and i thought it was worth alerting my fellow surfers to it's existance


As stated earlier in the thread you can stick on a older plate BUT a newer one is not allowed

[darkdezigns]

it's a nice clour tho!!!

[Bogus]

Ok , the plate is wrong ? You go to DVLA explain that and get another plate that relates to the year. Its dead easy Im sure. There was a 97 Surf not far from me on an 02 plate, its now on a R plate so they must have gotten it changed.
