Sorry, no - my first Coupe was manufactured 10/10/06 and registered 22/12/06 and my current one was manufactured 18/09/06 but not registered until 29/12/06 for some reason!

I'm sure I've seen at least one on an 06 plate, which would have been registered before 01/09/06!

There seem to be more early ones than late - possibly due to the need for demonstraters! I know my first one got sold as a pre-reg!

Just noticed barneyg has just got an 06 plate - VIN checker shows it was made on 26/04/06 and registered on 02/06/06 so ours aren't that early! :lol:
Coupes because stunning!

That's just coupes. It's the manufactured number not the on road or registered number
