I wonder how it came to be wearing an "S" suffix plate, given a manufacture and first registration in 1970? Import, perhaps, prior to when cars started receiving age-appropriate plates? But then surely it would have had a "first registration" of whenever the plate was issued?
That is quite odd, looks like DVLA have broken their own rules:
'Where the personalised registration number has an age identifier (i.e. current style, prefix and suffix numbers see What style of registration number do you offer for sale?), you can only put that number onto a vehicle of equal age or newer. For example, if you purchase a 62 current style registration, it can only go onto a vehicle that was first registered as new on or after 1st September 2012. Please see the table below which shows the original issue dates of registration numbers.'

It's BAM 130S, still strange though.

MOO BEAM on an Audi Q7. Sadly no picture, but a decent bit of bodging going on considering the plate's actually MD08 EAM, as the real MO08 EAM is on a Honda Fireblade.
Both the D & 8 had been re-shaped in an attempt to resemble the letters O & B - in all honesty it would probably have been easier just to print an O & B to start with
Best of all, however, was the undersized letter N that had been printed beteen the 0 & 8 to try to make the plate read MOONBEAM
Must be a recent vehicle change as Cazana & DVLA say the plate is still on an Audi A3 S-Line.
I also spotted 2 "Willy's" in quick succession:
W1LL D / W1 LLD on an Aston DB9.
WILLY D on a Merc Vito. That'll be W11 LYD, with a black cap on the second 1 to try to resemble an L, then.
