Tracing A Car Numberplate

[Parabola]

My brother has just moved into a new house. In the garage is an old numberplate.

WAB594M



Anyone have an idea what it could be from? Just being nosey really!

All I can find out is is 'This registration was first registered during the period August 1973 to July 1974.
The registration was first registered in Worcester.'

So you have directed him to an enquiry page that requires the vehicle make of which he doesn't know?

I'm guessing it's not about any more then!

A Beetle? With a long thin rear plate, instead of a square two-liner?

Trailer plate, I'd guess.
