Blimey, I had to look up "nomenclature", nice word!

Anyways,

02 is a car registered between 1st March 2002 and 31 August 2002
52 is a car registered between 1st September 2002 and 28th Feb 2003
03 is a car registered between 1st March 2003 and 31 August 2003
53 is a car registered between 1st September 2003 and 28th Feb 2004

...and so on. Nothing with the cars necessarily changes with each new registration date, its just the numberplates that change.

thanks for that so my rsc is not? as it was first registered feb 02. i have noticed that the build plate on drivers' door jamb states "BUILT OCT 01" & on the passengers' door jamb au compliance plate 02/02.

so what does that make mine? a 51 plate

(01 is a car registered between 1st March 2001 and 31 August 2001
51 is a car registered between 1st September 2001 and 28th Feb 2002)


yes? no?

If it was first registered before 1st March it would be the equivalent of a 51 plate, if it was registered between 1st March and 31st August it would be an 02 plate, if it was registered after 31st August it would be a 52 plate.

Kind of irrelevant though as I'm sure the specs are probably slightly different in Aus.

**Just spotted your post, yes yours would be what we would describe as a 51 plate, looking at pics on Google you have whats known as a Mk2 172 here, or to be picky, a MK2 Phase 2 (facelift) 172!**
