    Hello,

    I was having my auxiliary fan checked by an electrician and then he noticed something unusual from my plate number. I have a Honda Civic LXi 97 car. He said that 97 model cars should have letter "U" as the starting character but mine was "W". It's a 2nd hand car. I really have no idea about the 97 models having letter "U" as the starting character until the time the electrician mentioned it to me. I think there is no problem with the OR/CR because the chassis no. and engine no. is the same. Also, I've checked it already through the LTO system(2600). I just noticed that the CR was dated 2009. Does anyone know what may had happened to it? Is there any legal issues about this?

    ang alam ko lang e "per region" ang letters, ex. region 1 = starts with "A", region 2 = "B" and so on...NCR naman= madami at halu-halo except those used na sa regional. pero yung "per year" e hindi ko alam kung may ganun nga.

    yung 1997 U series walang letter I, O, and Q. it would be cool the have both vehicles with the same letters and numbers with the exemption of one letter. like UFL 456 and UFI 456. hehe what are the odds.

    ^ Baka repalcement plate.

    When we bought our 1997 Corolla XE (brand new), it was one of the last AE101 (big body units) and the plate number was WCU***.

    may napansin ka bang letter "D" na maliit dun sa plaka nga. Sabi nila kapag ganun duplicate daw. Siguro lost plate din.

    Mga carnap vehicles lang ang pwd magpalit ng plate number. The rest pagnapalit ka, new plates but old alpha number.

    Di gaya dito as Australia, anytime pwd magpalit at new alpha numbers. $24

    Hanggang WC* meron nung 1997. That was the transition year from U to W. In the same way that 95 was the transition from T to U, then 2001 for W to X, and so on. So yung mga kotse na ganyang year model, pwedeng iba yung starting letter
