Very nice. What year is it? I notice that it has a late style bonnet. Later coupes are really hard to find, especially with the sliding roof.

That's what we call in the UK an "X" reg which was Aug 1st 1981 to 31st July 1982. The "X" being the suffix on the reg plate. So your TR8 would be a "V" or "W" registration, depending when in 1980 it was first registered. Just to confuse you, your Maxima would probably be an "R" reg but a prefix such as R 456 DEF. The system of suffix and prefix registrations changed in late 2000 and we now have 01/51 plates for the early (Sep 1st 2000 to 28/9th Feb 2001) and late (1st March to 31st Aug) parts of the registration year respectively. In 2001/2, it became 02/52 and so on. We are now on 11 registration and in September it will be 61. Confused? We are! The registration stays with the vehicle throughout it's life from first registration to end of life except when a "cherished" plate is transferred onto it. For example, i would like to get L800 DMH for my Rover 800 as it contains the year identifier (it's illegal to make a car appear newer so i can't have R800 DMH), the model series and my initials. I could then transfer the cherished plate to whatever car i wanted as long as it was L reg (1993/4) or newer.
Hope this gives you a vague idea about our car registration system!!
Cheers,
