A merc in chorley had BAD 80Y

That first appeared on a Metro back around 1982/3. I had that car for a few days on loan whilst mine was being serviced.

Gloucestershire registration.

In a similar vein, there used to be a Metro in Cambridge with the reg HER 80Y

50/50 whether this is in the correct thread.

Saw this outside my local sandwich shop at lunch.

that used to belong to a guy my dad knew, he had owned it for years. from memory it was just a plate that happened to be on a car he bought in the 1960's

Could be - issued in 1954 by Leeds...

Sharing these two

Awesome pair - unbelievable survival, as both original issues (1931and 1960 by Middlesex)

I'm sure it's been posted many times before but I'll use the SS at AMHQ as the excuse

M3DGE,

I notice you have the knack of telling when a registration was first issued, or if it was a recent DVLA sale - even for pre 63 type numbers.

Is this something anyone can do - and if so how?

Cheers!

I don't know how this stuck in my head, but...
About 20 years ago I read an article about this car, I think in Classic & Sportscar magazine. The car was (then) a one-owner vehicle, and the guty was recalling how the dealer phoned the local licensing office to ask for a 'real good' plate! They said that the OXO series had mostly gone to commercial vehicles, but if he was not supersticious, 13 was still available. The dealer later had a call from the office supervisor asking him to stop approaching his staff for good plates for his posh cars!
