Its a jersey plate - they all start with j

I know that, look again

If removed from Jersey to the UK mainland it will get 'age related non transferable' plate. If kept on Jersey the plate will remain, assuming it wasn't just a plate for filming the show.

ETA. It's in Hull so must have a UK plate & that is a show plate. Cannot get VED on a Jersey car on Mainland.

No, it isn't. It's a Crown Dependency, but not part of GB or UK.

Oh, I thought he was commenting on the plate being J 1610 or 1610 J ? Rather than the plate being from Jersey.

Doh

I think I get it now

J 1610 can only be used in Jersey
If used in say London, then it needs to age related, so they got a plate close to the Jersey plate, 1610 J which I think is 1970/71?

J as in ABC 123J is 1970 but it would be too new for the car, the 1610 J plate would be pre-1963 (1953-1962 codes were number then letter). J is for Durham according to this - Ref: - http://www.cvpg.co.uk/REG.pdf

Which for a 1949 car is also too new! What gives there?
