Plate Details

TAM 55M is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter M at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1973 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, TAM 55M can be assigned to any vehicle first registered on or after 1973. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.
