Identify the bike from the reg number?

[N Dentressangle]

In town today was passed by an unusual looking classic bike - sounded like a two stroke, and looked like a customised BSA Bantam. Was it one?

I got the number: any way to find out the make / model from the reg nr? Reg was 591 XUN if any of you guys have clever tricks...

Magic - thank you. Interesting first reg date! The company is supposed to have gone out of business in 1966...
