    The fact that 13 is on the Reg has nothing to do with chance of misfortune, vast majority of folk know that including myself.
    However there are some that will not touch it with a barge pool so someone with a 13 to sell on will have a smaller buyer pool so whether you are one who believes in bad luck or not, it will have an impact on your purchase decision, why do you think hotels avoid the 13th floor or planes row 13?

    Ah, they have lots of stuff more important. Go on, read it and you'll see.

    Failing that you might find something about dresses, or hair, or other women's problems?



    The number story is a small item, God knows why you're getting so worked up about it?

    There was a huge surge in registrations for the Millenium where people held off (or deliberately went for) the 00 plate. To this date the 00 registrations have not been surpassed.


    I couldn't care much what year is on my plate (I do prefer a non-D plate, if possible)

    IIRC, if you bought a new car and the the digits had 666 in it, or 13 you could ask for the reg to be changed.

    I can't remember if that was me dreaming or it's actually truth.

    666 is not routinely issued. The sequence misses 666. You can buy 666 if you reserve it.

    Once a number is issued it cannot be changed except by Revenue CAB officers.

    Is that for the resale of seized vehicles?

    I've driven a Mercedes 280SL (that once belonged to Bono) and the reg was, I think, 666 SZI.

    There were loads of 666's issued pre 87. It was never a problem back then.

    Don't forget the IP registration plates, I'm too young to remember but there wasn't much of a problem with the "RIP" plate...

    So once a registration is issued, that is final till it is scrapped?
    You cannot change a reg to a different county if the said number is available?
    Cars are scrapped and crashed all the time. So there must be spare numbers to change plates. Like when you import grey or classics.

    2013 will be a bad year in sale.s regardless. Most people will be struggling with their bills and mortgages! It will be same market buyers as this year. Granneys in super minis and fleets.

    13 D 13
    I can see the garages putting loads of rivets into regs,s to dicky up the 13 into a 18!

    I'd generally have no issue with owning or driving a 13 or 666 reg, but I do think I'd think twice over buying it due to the potential for a lesser resale value.

    It may just be enough to put people off.

    96-D-61666 was the reg of my first skyline...when it came up on the screen the VRT guy actually asked me if I wanted to change it....I said no way, you'd normally have to pay for a reg like that:)

    My American car was regged LUS 666. I paid an extra $50 for the personal plate.
    The plate surround had the text "The Devil made me do it". :D

    Was HIV a big issue back when those reg's were issued?

    Wiki tells us that the xIV series was used 1982-1986 and that HIV was adopted as the name in 1986 so..

    Then again the second-hand market was more robust in those days and I do recall my in-laws having a HIV-regged car and comments were made.

    However is it a case of memory concatenating events that were spread out over many years...
