Saw 1002 D on an Audi A1 yesterday, what's the story with these 4x1s?
Some were issued in the 1950s and 1960s as authorities ran out of combinations. Some series started at 1000 rather than 1.Those issued with approx. dates:
D (Jul 64, Kent), E (Apr 53, Staffordshire), F (Feb 57, Essex) H (Jun 53, Middlesex), K (April 60 Liverpool), N (Jun 59, Manchester), R (Nov 62, Derbyshire), U (May 57, Leeds) and W (Mar 60, Sheffield)
Essex were running so short they issued the previously unused OO xxxx in 1961, very few were issuing two letter prefixes at that time.
D (Kent) commenced at 2 (1 D was allocated to them but not issued) The last was 5678 D before going to AKE 1B
E (Staffs) was the first reverse formation issue, starting at 1000. After 2500, the decree came that all reverse plates should be 3 figure 123 ABC format, so E was suspended, 2501-9999 being issued later in 1958 when Staffs ran out of 3 letter combos. When these and 2 letter reversed were finished, Staffs was allocated BF in 1960 commencing with CBF 1.
F, H, K and R issued from 1
N from 1000, W from 1001
U from 1 for bikes, 1000 for cars

How much would that be worth?The plate, not the car
Good to see the Mini out and about, it's done a third of it's total mileage in the past year!

A 1 and 1 A are owned by Prince Jefri Bokiah of Brueni, he's the Sultan's brother. Whilst I usually say everything has a price, these plates simply aren't for sale. I know of someone who has a client willing to pay £1.5M for it. but it's simply not on the market.
