When I saw the video clip, I got the idea Clarkson didn't know what he was talking about. ![]() |

1999+ |

2005 according to the plate |

Converted to right hand drive, judging by the windscreen wipers. |

What do you mean? What info does the plate give? ![]() They changed the style for 2004, so if it is a 1999+ it is 1999-2003 I suppose. |

Actually, if you want a more specific year, It’s at least a 2001 model. The 2001–Onward, Ford F-150 SVT lightning sported a new Flat-Black primary Linear Grille, Flat-Black lower bumper intake Linear Grille and Multi-Reflecting Crystal turn signals/Side marker lamps. ![]() |

Wow! The license plate says it’s a 2005 model!!! ![]() because unless that truck came from another alternate universe, SVT ended production of the F-150 Lighting in 2004 (along with other SVT products like the Mustang SVT Cobra) The Ford F-150 SVT Lightning never made it to the 2005 model year. |

They could have re-licensed the vehicle, that happens. Specially in this case where it may have been converted to right hand drive so it could have needed to be licensed again to be road legal again. |

The year code on UK plates indicates the date of registration, not the model year. If production of the F-150 SVT ended in 2004, this could just have hung around for a while at the dealer before being sold and registered. Not in Britain. If it had been registered previously in a foreign country, it would get a backdated UK registration number based on the date of first registration. And MOT (roadworthiness) tests are completely separate from registration. -- Last edit: 2007-08-11 12:21:15 |

Not found on DVLA site or mycarcheck.com so probably a false registration. Although it is possible it was converted from left to right hand drive is it more likely (or possible) this is an Australian import? |

The ones in Australia are themselves converted after manufacture, aren't they? |

Seeing a Ford something-SVT with a plate ending by SVT made me think to a fake or "custom selected" plate, so it does not go in that numbering system I suppose. |
