What registration would my 1977 import get?

The question

What format would my historic vehicle (1977) get if I register it in Ireland now? I have heard it would have the modern style (if not a ZV) i.e 77 DL (for Donegal) followed by a number. Can you confirm this and what would the number be?

Hi Colin,

In fact, you can choose to have the old "ZV" style plate if you wish. If you stick with the county one instead, it starts at a higher number for imports - and that starting number varies by county. Revenue has not published the starting number for Donegal that we know of.
