This March sees the 61 registration bow out, to make way for the new 12-plate. It’s the busiest month of the year for car dealers, with customers queuing to own the latest model, registered with the latest digits.

Throughout the whole of this month, the Auto Trader team will be bringing you articles and videos on the newest and best cars to consider in the run-up to the 12-plate launch.

From the tiny Twingo, to the athletic Astra GTC and simply brilliant BMW 3 Series, we’ll have every category covered.

And we start the new car reg wish-list with something that may not have come up on your radar: the Hyundai i40 Tourer. Hyundai has made some real advances in both perceived quality and desirability, so if you’re after a bit of a hassle free workhorse, this may be just for you.

As each article is published, we’ll add its link to the bottom of this page, so feel free to bookmark this article now or visit the Auto Trader homepage every day in February for the latest 12-plate models.

From myself, and the rest of the Auto Trader editorial team, happy browsing!
