is that true about the private plate has to have the same first letter as your original reg?
My mate said that but I thought it was a load of *****
No it doesn't have to have the same first letter at all, but it is not aloud to make the car look newer than it is.
So you couldn't have X123 DUB on a 1990 car but you could have A123DUB on it.
You can have any Irish plate on what ever the age i.e. ICE 1234
