Re: Reg plate A reg
Numbers with an a reg suffix letter are what is now issued as age related for 1963 vehicles. That was the first year they used year letters.

Correct, but only from a part of that year. As a consequence they had a surplus of "A" numbers that they used for transfers later. I have a 1960 4 door which came to me on an "A" plate, which I requested to have an age related plate supplied, which they did for no cost. Only restriction is that this number is then "non transferable".ianmack wrote:Numbers with an a reg suffix letter are what is now issued as age related for 1963 vehicles.

A 1963 came out 1st January not all areas used it at first, Kent was still using 2 letters 4 numbers in 1964 . E was 1st January until 31 July 1967 then F from August 1st 1967
Re: Reg plate A reg
Yes, the use of the year letter was partial in 1963. However I believe DVLA now issue A suffix numbers for all allocations for 1963 vehicles, presumably to save the six digit numbers for earlier cars. I say this based on experiences of an aquaintance who registered an imported 1963 motorcycle and received an A suffix.
I guess there's nothing to lose if you ask DVLA for a six digit number, let us know how you get on.

I mean there's nothing to lose except for the frustrations of any kind of dealing with DVLA
