it could be either a car that was imported back into the uk in 1963, or a car that lost its original reg and had a reissued 1963 'a' plate to replace it (which is what the dvla used to do - back in the day - they would stick these on any year of car - my dad has a 1930s car that has a 'a' plate on it!

It's been plate raped.
The original number has been transferred off of the car and as was the DVLA practice at the time it was given an A suffix plate instead of a the correct for it's age Three letter/three number type registration number.

Someone told me the other week DVLA will now swap an old A plate back to a non transferable 3 digit 3 letter plate. Do you know if this is correct?

Cheers, mines on a crappy A plate

Interesting.

And there was me thinking they were quite strict about not issuing a newer registration for an older car. How naive
