Plate Details

DTR 5W is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter W at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1980 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, DTR 5W can be assigned to any vehicle first registered on or after 1980. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.

Registration History

DTR 5W was first made available in 1981. The original issuing office for this combination is Southampton C.B.C.. Local council and county borough offices issued plates within their geographic area — the issuing office identifies the regional origin of the registration.
