For example, it appears the 1993 Miata Limited Edition was a collector vehicle per below:

Not sure if it fell under the limited production vehicle status at the time of application. Thanks! |

"To qualify, your vehicle must be one of the following:
- 25 years or older
- A limited production vehicle
- 15 years or older, and
- 1 of no more than 1,500 of that make and model (not edition) produced worldwide by the manufacturer for that model year.
- A discontinued vehicle
- 15 years or older, and
- A manufacturer that owns the "trademark" or "make" of that vehicle has ceased manufacturing vehicles of any kind for at least the last five years."

In other words, you can get collector plates in advance for a 2000 Mercedes C43 AMG without issue. You just have to prove that less than 1500 worldwide were made. 2000 C43 is less than 500 so no problem.
'editions' do not count for early collector plates. There was a 'presidential edition' for the 2003 E55 AMG, only 7 made. This would not count. With over 1500 '03 E55s made worldwide, this vehicle is not eligible.
