Frequently Asked Questions

• What type of number plate is TBS 1S? +
  TBS 1S is a Suffix style number plate (letters + number + letter). Personalised number plates have no official meaning — they are combinations of letters and numbers issued by the DVLA.
• Where is the cheapest place to buy TBS 1S? +
  NewReg.co.uk currently lists TBS 1S at £5,425, with a total all-in cost from £5,505 including the £80 DVLA transfer fee. NewReg operates a price match guarantee — if you find the same plate advertised cheaper by another dealer, we will beat that price. Full DVLA transfer handling is included at no extra charge beyond the £80 DVLA fee. Finance is also available from approximately £461 per month (0% APR, subject to status).
• Why are some TBS 1S 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 TBS 1S. The genuine market value of TBS 1S reflects its specific characteristics — plate format, letter combination, rarity and any name or word that buyers may associate with it. NewReg lists TBS 1S at £5,425 — the true market price — with a price match guarantee: if you find TBS 1S legitimately offered cheaper by another UK dealer, we will beat that price.
• What is included when I buy TBS 1S from NewReg? +
  Your purchase of TBS 1S from NewReg includes: full DVLA transfer service — we handle all paperwork on your behalf at no extra charge beyond the standard DVLA transfer fee, a certificate of entitlement, and road-legal acrylic number plates. 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 TBS 1S first issued? +
  TBS 1S was first made available at a DVLA auction in March 2018, when the registration was released to the public for the first time. Separately, the plate format identifies TBS 1S as a 1977 registration — this determines which vehicles it can be assigned to. Under DVLA rules, TBS 1S can be placed on any vehicle first registered in 1977 or earlier.
• Can I put TBS 1S on my car? +
  Under DVLA rules, a number plate cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it is. TBS 1S can be assigned to a vehicle first registered in 1977 or earlier — it cannot be placed on a vehicle registered after that date.
