With the UK number plates it's still confusing: What's with the so-called "cherished numbers"?

Private plates, so not age related.

Private plates, so not age related.

Though some private plates have a year letter, as opposed to the vehicle having the year letter. IE B***VKJ would be 1985, but can be transferred to a new van as a private plate.

So whats a Q plate mean?

[MrMPuk]

Non-age related, things like kit cars and stolen and recovered.

[stevo]

Ah, though so, so a Q plate Tranny would be a stolen and recovered?

[MrMPuk]

There are a few reasons why it could have a Q plate.
