Wasn't F/G the changeover year when the system changed slightly (I think the time of year when the 'new' letter came in was changed) and therefore there is a bit of crossover?

Being a sad fucker (anorak on mode), it's interesting that for a 1967 vehicle the DVLA have given it a 1968 registration (@LBF where are you).

And before you ask, TWE---F was issued to two batches of AEC Swift's and two lots of Leyland Atlanteans in 1968 followed by WWB---G (193 was at the Commercial Motor show that year). I'm showing my age now...(Anorak off).

it looks like the vehicle was imported into the UK where I imagine it was just issued an age related plate, where it seems all that really matters is that the Suffix/Prefix/age maker matches the vehicle (and sometimes not even that!) and Im not sure if the DVLA pay attention to such details like you mention when it comes to issuing age related plates, with the DVLA looking at what numbers they have that were never issued and are slowly working through them

 

for example I have noticed is age related plates seem to be issued in somewhat batches, for example with VES108S (ex XEV88S) you will see  1998 imports etc which is handy in the case of vehicles that have been plate raped like VES, for figuring out when they were plated raped or even figuring that they where plate raped in the first place (see Section of my Invacar thread where I discovered VES108S was an age related plate :) (I also figured out the same for JBY503J as well before VES)

 and if you go either side of WWA425F you will find other April 2019 imports, I imagine they will use up all the not issued WWA-F reg's then move start on issuing the next series of F Reg's they have on hand

how they decide which unused reg series to issue first over another I have no idea!

 

(side note ED22C is a 2 wheeled tractor according to the DVLA LOL one for @egg and his "2-wheel" invacar :mrgreen: )

 

(for @barrett it looks like the change happened with the E suffix, with F suffix being the first 1st aug to 31st July suffix)

I've already owned one of them, I swapped my felicia pickup for the 309 then drove it to Aldershot to swap it for the green 305 saloon. The 309 was in far better condition.

Daimler, £1500

Bodywork sounds a bit ropey but look:

Barchetta @ £2k, cheapest I've seen.  I had one long ago, much novelty value but rather unengaging to drive.

2200SC, £2150:

Honest description, non-fucked interior and had new rear calipers apparently. Have considered this but I reckon I'd spend most of my time wishing I'd put the money towards a better one.
