Car registration CLA 55 on a Mercedes

How many types of car registrations are there?

There are many terms used to describe our product; registration numbers, personalised plates, DVLA number plates and private number plates are a few.

Current style number plates consist of two letters, a two-figure age identifier and finally three letters. Good examples of quality registrations owned by New Reg are DE51 RES, PR05 PER and HU55 LED plus many more of course!

Prefix personalised number plates contain the year identifier at the beginning of the registration. New Reg's collection of cherished prefix registrations includes R4 NDY, S73 VEN and R4 CHS - great registrations, we think you'll agree!

Suffix DVLA Number plates contain the year identifier at the end of the registration. These number plates were issued to vehicles manufactured between 1963 and 1982. Good examples of these types of registrations owned by New Reg are EXC 173D, BLO 550M and JEN 11E.

Dateless car registrations do not contain a year identifier and can consist of a number combination followed by a letter combination and vice versa. Some of these registrations such as JON 321 and Y 1 are seen as the crème de la crème within the number plate industry.

More detailed information can be found on our registration types page.

CLA 55 plate for a CLA 55 player.

Former Preston North End hotshot and now full England striker David Nugent is the new big thing in English football and we wondered what he'd make of our car registration CLA 55.

David who said "Obviously new reg were the main sponsor when I first joined North End so I often have a look at what private number plates they have available on their site". One of his former team mates, who shall remain nameless quipped “Don't you have ’NUGGET’ for him?”, we may have, but we prefer the CLA 55 plate for a CLA55 player.

Collecting proven quality is a way of life for Tim Dams of Shropshire based Corner Farm Antiques.

His registration 1 OLD joins the list of collectables 1 CFA, B1 OLD, A11 OLD & B1 LOT already owned by this avid New Reg collector.
