I've heard a few people mention them, but are they for real?

(This has probably been asked a million times before on here, so i apologise in advance!)

 

yeah its true, right up untill 2 K platers existed too, just late registered ones.

 

K plates as well!?!

Cheers for the info Mikey!

Do J plates go for more than your average series 2? Can't say i've ever seen one for sale anywhere

 

i've only ever seen two J plates...fookin rare

 

I would'nt class them as any rarer....after all as mickey mentions they are just late registered cars..probably sat in a field for a couple years before being sold! lol I know of a 3 door bonus on a J, Also Grant a user off here had a Black J plater.

 

i ve worked on a rotten j plater when i was at fords!

the bloke must have cryed when we gave him the bill for all the weldin

 

I stuck a GRS IC in grants J plater

 

I think this one is a J plate. Its off the Motorsport Development website im sure i saw it for sale somewhere before

 

s1_turbo, that's grants car, the one i done the GRS on

 

Here is Grants again

 

I had a J reg 1600 E Cortina...............

 

Yes they are rarer. Yes they are worth more than D,E,F,G,H plate S2's in SAME CONDITION due to the rarity. (Same as the S1 D plates: and I'm not just saying that cos I own one). As always tho, it comes down to the condition of the car. Two cars exactly the same: one on a G (for example) one on a J, the J is going to be worth more due to the rarity factor. Late registration or not, there were less of them initially, and are worth more accordingly. (Difficult to put a precise additional ££ on it tho).

*Info* There were only 8 J plate S2's.

I have pics of three of these: Grants black one, a white one, and a mercury grey one with Morrette headlights.

 

Cheers for the info guys!

I'll have to keep an eye on the Autotrader!

 

It's silly tho It's just a late registration, just because there was only a few of them, I can't see how it makes them any more rare imo! I know i'd go by condition not necessarily age. Yes I can understand bigging it up being a later car, but what does it have that the year or so younger models dont?

 

yur just jealous yours is mint but not a J plate ad

 

i think it makes complete sense a newer car is going to be worth more anyway, the rarity of a j reg adds alot of ££ also if you look at the going prices for rsts the later ones are worth alot more then the earlier ones

 

You can shut up n all
