- About this plate
- Out-of-series allocations: reg. 5(1) provides for a code "not in the series being issued at the time, but in the control of the Central Motor Registry", applied for via Schedule 5 Fig. 9 and Form MVA2. Recorded as its own series because it is a distinct ALLOCATION regime with its own form and its own controlling body, and priced separately in the FRSC schedule.
