Mayoral Car
The Mayor and Mayoress have use of the Mayoral Car for all official engagements. The Mayoral Car has changed over the years, but always carries the number plate NDW 1, where '"DW" are the original registration letters for Newport Corporation. NDW 1 indicates the first registration in the N series of registrations; N in this instance presumably also indicating Newport.
As of 2008 the Mayoral car is a 3.2-litre automatic Jaguar XJ8. Previous cars included a stretched Ford Granada.
