Don’t expect to...
Don’t expect to see this facelifted Range Rover Sport any time soon – it won’t go on sale until the summer of 2009.
Hills Numberplates has...
Hills Numberplates has made the plates to comply with the latest DVLA standard, which means it has to take more than 3 minutes to get them off a vehicle. Under independent testing not only did the new plates not budge in 3 minutes, but when they were eventually removed they were completely irreparable.
The DVLA directive has emerged in response to an estimated 30,000 numberplates stolen in 2004. They are usually then used for car ID theft - being attached to other vehicles which are then used for criminal activity.
The theft resistant plates were officially launched by the DVLA at the end of May, and will be available from the end of July for new vehicles and as a retrofit through approved outlets.
