• Why are some COL 38Y 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 38Y. The genuine market value of COL 38Y reflects its specific characteristics — plate format, letter combination, rarity and any name or word that buyers may associate with it. NewReg lists COL 38Y at £19,995 — the true market price — with a price match guarantee: if you find COL 38Y legitimately offered cheaper by another UK dealer, we will beat that price.

• When was COL 38Y first issued? +
  COL 38Y was first made available at a DVLA auction in March 2015, when the registration was released to the public for the first time.

• Can I put COL 38Y on my car? +
  Under DVLA rules, a number plate cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it is. COL 38Y can be assigned to a vehicle first registered in 1982 or earlier — it cannot be placed on a vehicle registered after that date.
