Can't find it anywhere and I have to respond to a speeding ticket notification, I've checked where I might have written the number, insurance docs, purchase agreements etc but haven't written it down and can't find the original. Any suggestions ?

You can work most of it out yourself

A--------B-----C--D--E-
GARDN 605109 C99 LY 60

A =
This is the first five letters of your surname. If your surname
has fewer than five letters, the remaining spaces will be
made up using the number 9 (for example, MAN99).
B =
The first and last numbers are the year of your birth.
The second and third numbers are the month of your
birth. (If you are female, ‘5’ is added to the second
number and the total used as the second digit. So if
you are a woman born in October the second and third
numbers would be 60.) The fourth and fifth digits are the
day of the month you were born on.
C =
This is the first two initials of your first names. If you
have only one initial, the second character will be a ‘9’.
D =
Computer check digits, randomly produced as a security
measure.
E =
This is the licence issue number, which will increase by
one with every licence issued.
