    As far as I know, they start around 200 - the ones below that are reserved for people who pay money to get a 'nice' registration number - or at least I think that's how it works.

    Dont they have to keep some of the earliest reg numbers in case there is a 1911 car still on the road?

    Perhaps, but it could have been changed to the new style after 1987, or it could have been imported and registered in the new style.

    I suppose car dealerships would only be reopening up today. I never understood this urge to get a brand new car at the beginning of the year. It is usually the crappest of drivers too, ime.
