That is seriously strange! Not an early import, BAM 80S was sold by DVLA auction for £7700 + VAT etc in 2001. So then they accepted an allocation to a car manufactured before 1/7/77, a straight violation of the rule as stated on their web site:-
'Where the personalised registration number has an age identifier (i.e. current style, prefix and suffix numbers see What style of registration number do you offer for sale?), you can only put that number onto a vehicle of equal age or newer. For example, if you purchase a 62 current style registration, it can only go onto a vehicle that was first registered as new on or after 1st September 2012. Please see the table below which shows the original issue dates of registration numbers.'
Back then a car that was imported got a plate for the current year, as if it was brand new. Maybe this car was imported later on, then because it was already on an S or later plate, they let it have an S reg cherished plate. Still not strictly within those rules though, it should only get a cherished plate that doesn't make it look newer than it originally should have.'Where the personalised registration number has an age identifier (i.e. current style, prefix and suffix numbers see What style of registration number do you offer for sale?), you can only put that number onto a vehicle of equal age or newer.

Neither crappy, doctored nor misplaced, you may have missed the point of the thread
Seriously crappy. What on earth possessed him to put that half arsed plate on that car! We know it’s a McLaren... it ain’t a mc14hen!

I hadn’t even realised it was supposed to say anything at first.
I feel a black bolt coming on at the top of the H..... Why would you do that to that car? If it was mine & brand new, I'd be running it on the 18 plate until sometime in winter, then I'd buy any old plate if I couldn't get JK, JAK looks wrong imo, to assign.

ETA - looking around the web, another theory is that it was registered in the UK as normal, then exported, then re-imported at a point where new registrations were being given. Doesn't make a lot of sense if they knew the original date of registration, though.
