What year did C reg cars first come out in England (198?)

[Mobsta]

Is there an online tool for calculating plates/years?
Cheers/thanks

1985 or 1986 I think. My Dad`s Audi 100CS (the aerodynamic one...for the time) was an A reg and I`m pretty certain that was an `84 car.

Thanks, that sounds roughly right.
If anyone has a link to a proper tool, for tools like me, that would be great!

Conveniently alphabetical reg years are always 20 years apart

August 85 through to July 86.

Mrs BG had a new Maestro 1.6L on 1st August.

In Scotland it was August 85.

As far as I am aware, England and the rest of the UK were the same.

First time was '65, second time was '85

Maybe you should have bought a lottery ticket tonight, with

2, 12, 20, 22, 32, 42

But if you didn't you probably just saved yourself a quid - lucky you

You're all wrong, C came out in 1965. My iris blue 1985 MGB ( with Bermuda hardtop ~ cool or what ? ) I can still remember the reg: GGY 581 C ..... although over 40 years ago ...

Howzat for memory ....

So there...

Looking at that site the Prefixs for the start of the newer style regs are all completely wrong! My vehicle starts in YP and was registered in Sheffield... According to that site it was actually London!!

If its a new style plate the prefix's changed, YP is Sheffield.
