Year of manufacture recorded by DVLA is clearly wrong.

Mileage unknown Number of previous owners: 4 Current owner since May 2011 this one is showing a Keeper change on the 18th of the 11th 2020, im guessing you may have pulled its details before the 3rd party tools we use updated? its an interesting one, as you say its down as 1971 on the DVLA and wore a J plate until 1998 when it gained the age related plate it has now, this bit makes sense back then when you registered a vehicle for the first time like that, (say ex army or import) you got given a plate according to its date of first registration not its age starting in Aug 1983 (with the introduction of the A Prefix) they started issuing age related plates, and if you had a vehicle on a non age related plate you could request a suitable age related plate for your vehicle which is what is what this vehicle had done in 1998 it looks like but what is curious is that the vehicle is still down as 1971 on the DVLA despite being given an age related plate for the vehicle by them (GSJxxx was issued in 1998, so its not like they later bought the plate and just stuck it on the vehicle) so im curious how they managed to get an age related plate without the age of the vehicle being updated on the DVLA! adw1977 1

Shite Ron Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Two fantastic spots, I remember sitting in an Elite just like that when I was a child, one of my dad’s colleagues had one identical, even the same colour.

Incidentally, the Fiesta was parked in Morrisons car park. When that store opened in 1993, I bet Mark 1 Fiestas were frequent visitors! LightBulbFun 1

I wonder what the number plate was originally on. indeed it is, nice to see one thats not been messed with by the OSF crowd Number plate is original to the car the DVLC/DVLA only started to withhold numbers for private sale starting in 1989, (although before that some but not all county council offices would hold back 1-99 for issue to Motorcycles and the such like) as such it was much more common to see cars running around just randomly on what today might be considered a desirable plate that would get withhold and sold by the DVLA at auction which is why today age related plate series's are only issued from 101 to 997/998 (the rest are withheld by the DVLA for future sale along with multiples like 200 300 400, 111 222 333 etc) adw1977 1

Oh good point I did notice that (have been fighting/getting distracted by some personal computer issues funnily enough LOL) in that case the car may not have been on it since new then, since In general noticed number plate history only goes back to about 1983, changes before that dont tend to show up, and I dont see any on my tools sadly regardless, I cant normally tell you where a number plate has been, I can only tell what number plates has been on a given car, so I cant tell you what car RAM97S would of been on originally (even if records went back to 78) the only exception to this, is if a number plate is on retention then I can tell you the last car it was on, but nothing further back but for what its worth on the Fiesta front, given all the other fiestas around it VIN number wise are in the LPN-W Registration range, (LPN486W and LPN503W are the ones either side of RAM97S) im guessing thats what registration plate series it would be wearing if it was not for the RAM97S personal plate EDIT: did a bit of digging and for RAM97S I have dug up MPK272W, but its weird and does not show up on most tools, so take it with a pinch of salt... (but MPK-W looks like a period registration series) edit: yeah cazana can see that plate MPK272W, because it says it was first registered in Guildford (PK is a Surrey/Guilford location marker) yet my other tools show no plate history for RAM97S and when I back feed MPK272W I get no results/records for that registration at all, all very weird adw1977 and 500tops 1 1
