i know the top number defines the vehicle, like a Williams is a C57M whereas my valver is a C57D

and the third line, the second figure is the colour code, 449 sports blue, and the last figure is the equipment level of the car

the last figure is the vehicle fabrication number

but, what is all the other stuff ?

is there a way of telling what number ur car is from this plate?

i know in williams u get it on the dash, but ive got a 1996 valver and was wondering if it was THE last one ever made!! (you never know, it could be!! :P )
