First Look: What Ireland’s 2013 Car Registration Plate Will Look Like

Number thirteen is lucky for some, unlucky for most…

And so, from January 1^st, 2013, all new cars on Irish roads will have a number plate with a twist.

The number plate ‘131’ will come into effect on New Year’s Day, but a second registration plate will come into play on July 1^st.

From then, ‘132’ will be spotted on all new cars around the country.

The move aims to encourage people to buy cars in the second half of the year.

The photos were taken at Kearys Renault in Cork where the team there is preparing for the big changes.

What do you think? Fantastic idea or a waste of time?
