And as has been said by others, you can't make an older car appear newer by putting on a year letter later than the first registration of the car, but it's perfectly ok for Keris to buy a brand new Bugatti Veyron and put CHR15C on it even though that's a number plate from 1965.
My car is an "R" reg, so over ten years old ... I could not put MR 05 HEA on it because that would indicate it was a car that was only five years old (or younger) *and* because that sold at auction in 2005. My initials 05 HEA is available, but it's £3,299 plus tax and transfer fees, and I don't have a car that recent ... so I'm not buying it!
