"s" Reg Yaris - First I've Seen!

Just seen this on eBay - its the first I've ever seen on an S plate, as I always thought that T was the earliest available.

Anyone else ever come across one this old? It was registered Feb 99 - a month before the official launch in the UK in March 1999.

Maybe a demonstrator? I remember we were invited to our local Mr T shop to view the Yaris when they first came out and my Parents bought one, theirs was delivered on a T plate though.

You could be right - a demonstrator car, in which case this makes the one for sale here quite collectable I would have thought, as there cant be very many other Yaris's on S plates. I didnt think I would see many older than mine ( registered April 12th 1999 ) but to see one on an S plate is a very rare sighting lol

Well it's definately genuine as I put the reg number into the Europarts site and it came up as Yaris 1.0 :thumbsup:.

I remember my Dad being surprised that the Mk1 Yaris came out in 1999. At the time I suggested that this was the Japanese release & they went on sale later elsewhere.

With a few cars I used to notice the earliest year letters, though since the reg periods have been reduced to 6 months it's been harder to spot if there's been a big overlap in sales.

Try looking out for a Mk4 Vauxhall Astra on an R reg, I've only seen 1-2 from memory.
