I can remember most of dad's car numbers:-

Ford eight - BKG34
Morris Minor - JCY33
Morris 1000 - 463CVX
100e - 355GHT
Mini - 300NTG
another Mini- DDD492C
another Mini - KUH9E

Our neighbour's Morris 1000 sticks in my mind too - 259BWN - was on the road until about 10 years ago.

A849 NYA. Vauxhall cavalier. My dad used all of his redundancy money from Rolls Royce in 1983 to buy it brand new and I remember the arguments with my mum. She had her eye on a kitchen but he spent it all before she even had chance to order a kitchen catalogue.

D919 LPP Vauxhall Carlton, An early new shape was available as an ex company car at Du Pont so he ditched the Cav and upgraded to a Carlton. Followed by more arguments as my dad got very little selling the cavalier privately and needed even more money to get the Carlton.

I only remember a few
R906UUD
P436XUD
DG04HHT, I think

Prior to that a bit blank, post that a bit blank minus the current polestar which my dad won't let me drive, flipside I don't let him drive mine! As much as I dislike some personalised plates, moving it car to car is a saviour.

My dad was a big fan of bangernomics so had a constant steady turnaround of cheap bangers. One I remember was a Sierra Sapphire, E330UNT..one of his workmates got creative with some tape one day to make it very NSFW laugh

VDV 539 and GPR 963. My father's Ford Prefect and Ford Zephyr six Mk 1. He owned these when I was 10 in 1965. Bizarre, given how little I remember generally, both recently and back then.

I remember all of mine / families. Ocd.

One memorable was grandads Mk1 Cortina, around 1970. 975 EJB. I was a kid, he picked me up from school, a parent wanted to buy it from him. EJB was on Paddy Hopkirk Mini, maybe worth something back then.
