MartynS Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Thinking back to when I got my 60 plate mid September last year (in 3 days time it's 6 months old!), I'd seen loads of other 60's leading up to collection day. I had kind of hoped mine would be the first I saw, but that didn't happen :P. Since the start of March I've seen only one 11 plate, and that was an Insignia. Are there just far fewer new cars this year (VAT rise??) or just none where I go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmbrown91 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I saw a couple of 11 plate new shape focuses and even on 1st March I saw a brand spanking 11 plate Porsche 911 on the M1..some people have more money than sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I havent seen a single 11 plate yet. However I have got one on order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewL Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 The first two 11 plates that I saw were both Fiestas. I was wondering why I thought the car looked a bit odd and then remembered that it was the 1st March and I'd never seen an 11 before.

2011fiesta Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Reckon I've spotted around ten 11 plates. Three being on fiestas(!) but thats probably coz I always check out every passing mk7 fiesta lol. One 11 plate fiesta lives up the street from me now, a squeeze green one, looks brilliant in the sun! Means my 60 plates not the latest thing now :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan9684 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I've seen hundreds but I work in a garage :P March is busier than September, at least where I work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunny Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I see a couple every day pretty much, and have since the 1st of March. Obviously theres more people out there with money to spare than I thought! Even with the conservative Gov in and people apparently struggling to get by..

Trist Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 See a 11 plate every day lol We have a 11 plate Nissan Juke on the drive haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Parrot Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I've seen quite a few. The first one I saw was on the 16th February with transit plates also on display which I didn't know was possible. I also saw a new Polo the other day with only showroom plates that read, "Polo" - no legal plates, including transit plates, were displayed! I don't whether someone stole it from a showroom or what lol. Since Friday I have my own 11 plate Fiesta to look at :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Only seen 1 so far and that was a Mondeo. EDIT: Wasn't a 'proper' 11 plate but earlier I drove past AUS 11E :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparticus5 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 You 11 plate spotters want to come to Central Scotland. Seen loads and if our roads are anything to go by, Kia appear to be one of the major benefactors of the new plate change. Lots of VW (Golfs mostly) and Audi which is weird because neither are exactly the cheapest cars in their sector. Seeing lot's of new A1's.

jmurray01 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Where I live 80% of the cars around are Fords, and about 35% of them are 11 plates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynS Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 I've only seen another 2 since; corsa vxr and a mk2 focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparticus5 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Was thinking about this thread this afternoon. Amongst the usual 11 plate culprits that pass by, I spied a brand new Saab 9-3 whilst out on my travels. It could easily have been an 03 reg car to someone who's still got a life, but there it wearing an 11-plate as it drove past. Looked pretty weird I must say. Not sure how much the owner paid for it but I bet it's already depreciated 50% in the past two weeks! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a titanium will full dress up kit and the new sony head unit (not that i peaked inside... ) Anyway it completely shot down my fiesta XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
