Often sold cheaply in GB to folk who either want a) a 'personal' plate but don't have the gelt or b) want to cheaply disguise the age of a vehicle. Expand It's a similar format, with three letters followed by four numbers, but that's not a Northern Ireland series registration - they always have a 'Z' or an 'I' as part of the two-letter 'county code'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_Northern_Ireland?wprov=sfla1 SS was never allocated as a GB office code, to the best of my knowledge - SR and ST were, and both in Scotland - so this one remains a bit of a head-scratcher, for now... martc 1

Expand SS was East Lothian and then 1974+ Aberdeen issue (SS xxxx itself was finally completed in November 1955) but I agree thats no normal/standard issue British registration mark, i suspect it must be from some sort of British-connected/influenced place or the such like, something/somewhere that was RHD and used British style/fonted number plates whatever it is must be pretty old, or fairly loosely connected going by that style of number plate font also On 21/03/2025 at 15:23, quicksilver said: Here's a weird one.

Expand in-fact I wonder if thats not a registration mark at all, but instead some sort of company specific system? maybe the vehicle was used in a large yard or airport etc, and given an internal identification mark? see for example this example from @cms206 On 27/06/2022 at 14:57, cms206 said: Expand The Old Bloke Next Door and Datsuncog 1 1

Expand This. It's more than likely an 'Asset Plate'. At Leeds Bradford Airport we had these for vehicles that were not used off company grounds, so were not registered.
