What's included with your purchase

Plate Details

VW13 BUG is a current-style registration issued in March 2013. Current style plates use a two-letter area code, a two-digit year code (13), and a three-letter random sequence. The 13 area code identifies it as originating from the Worcester DVLA office, covering West Midlands. Under DVLA rules, this plate can be assigned to any vehicle first registered in March 2013 or earlier — it cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it actually is.

Registration History
