Frequently Asked Questions

• What type of number plate is COL 157A? +

• Why are some COL 157A listings priced much lower than the market rate? +
  Some dealers advertise plates with a headline figure such as “from £200”, which can refer to their minimum site-wide price rather than an actual price for COL 157A. The genuine market value of COL 157A reflects its specific characteristics — plate format, letter combination, rarity and any name or word that buyers may associate with it. NewReg lists COL 157A at £1,094 — the true market price — with a price match guarantee: if you find COL 157A legitimately offered cheaper by another UK dealer, we will beat that price.

The £80 DVLA transfer fee is shown separately at checkout and paid direct to the DVLA. NewReg has been a DVLA-recognised reseller and CNDA member since 1991.
• When was COL 157A first issued? +
  COL 157A was first made available at a DVLA auction in January 2019, when the registration was released to the public for the first time.

• Can I put COL 157A on my car? +
  Under DVLA rules, a number plate cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it is. COL 157A can be assigned to a vehicle first registered in 1963 or earlier — it cannot be placed on a vehicle registered after that date.
