Plate Details

CAP 97Y is a suffix-style registration. The suffix letter Y at the end of the plate identifies it as a 1982 registration. Suffix plates were the standard UK format from 1963 to 1983. Under DVLA rules, CAP 97Y can be assigned to any vehicle first registered on or after 1982. Suffix plates with strong initials or short numbers are among the most collectable formats available.
