Very late D8

[hammerman]

I saw a W reg(march 2000-sept 2000)green D8 glx petrol saloon at the weekend.Slatted grill,frosted headlights,side indicators in lower plastic trim.Not a D8/D9 cross as i`ve read/seen on the forum.The lady owner would`nt allow me to take a pic,even though i showed here my 406 with my 406 oc sticker on it
Is this the lastest D8???Or has anyone seen a newer D8????

itl be an import mate,
or they might have sold its original plate and its had another plate thrown on,
dvla seem to be throwing v5 / w5 numbers out im wondering if this is the new stylee Q plate ,
theres defo no Wplate d8s

[omega]

there's defo no W plate d8s

sorry i have to disagree as i have seen a w reg d8 as well.
must have been old stock

a private plate has to be year related, ie: not make the car look newer than it is,so if you have an 04 plate car you cant have something like NL0555 B.
was it not an irish plate

if it had a reg transfer in 2000 theyl slap a v5 v4 plate on,
Mines come from ireland they slapped a v5 / v4 plate on itpresume these plate replace the Q plate?

The blue D8 estate in Eastenders (Denise's car) is either a V/W plate aswell, although that's probably a false plate for tv

Oh yes, im sad

If the Republic then it will be an import, the 98-D-12345 or so plate will *have* to change.

If the North, then it is kinda an import but the numberplate can be retained as it is still a UK plate, so it is possible to have a WEZ 1234 plate on *any* age of car.

NL05 SSB shirley?
Tis true, no W private plate for a pre-W aged car.

I remember seeing some dodgy looking plates on the Isle of Man

I'd take NLO here (=UFO)

That's another point, it could be an Isle of Man plate

eg.

W123 AMN

It is not W reg but has a similar format to GB.

Funnily enough, looking through the service history, my Accord originated on the Isle of Man. Explains why the V5 has it listed as a Honda 2 axle
The numberplate on it though could almost be Isle of Man:
MNZ xxxx


Best UK style numberplate I saw was a friend at university from Guernsey who managed to drive his car all the way to Scotland. His numberplate was something like:
1526

I spotted a W reg D8 yesterday on my regular travel up to Kendal and back

Didn't have GBM on the plate, so not isle of man

JUst old stock at the end of day, the stealer struggled to clear

[sirwiggum]

Isle of Man plates don't neccessarily need to have a GBM identifier.

I've seen them with UK style plates that wouldn't look out of place as UK plates, other than the "MAN" or " * MN" letters.
