OK, so I relented - I'm picking up on Feb 16th but decided to get a private plate because of the "old" 71 registration plates it'll be getting.
It's the first private plate for me but, needs must and all that.
If anyone is in the same situation they have about 45 registrations on the DVLA site that contain the 'model Y prefix' like this;
Y -- TSL
Y --- TSL
They only cost £250 at the moment including the £80 DVLA fee.
Hope that's of interest to any of you out there deliberating/ or taking early pick ups. There are 2 more page also...
