Private, Cherished and Personalised Number Plates

Index of registration numbers and guide to identification marks:
An index has been compiled from information supplied by the various Local Taxation Officers and Chief Constables, with the co-operation of the Ministry of Transport.
In some cases records relating to the issue of early single and two letter marks and numbers are not available but in any case of difficulty the Local Taxation Officer is prepared to assist the trade as far as possible. All marks which expired prior to 1951 have been omitted from the index and the information appearing here forms a usefull guide to the ages of vehicles for use in connection with Ministry of Transport vehicle tests.
Where, at the time of going to press, no numbers were registered for newly allotted identification marks, these have been omitted. When Licensing Authorities have exhausted their three-letter combinations they will begin a new series with a number followed by a letter or letters.
Seven symbol registration marks came in to use in 1963. The additional symbol, a letter of the alphabet and used as a suffix indicates the year of registration with A for 1963, B for 1964 and so on. When the series has been completed, the year letter will be made a prefix.
Many Private, Cherished and Personalised number plates that you will see around today will have Three letter combinations, consisting of three letters and three numbers.
