ZZ is a temporary plate from the ROI for people outside the ROI only keeping their vehicles in the ROI for a limited amount of time 

and YF54LEK, best guess is some sort of show plate? wrong font and it doesn't turn anything up on any tools

I was having a tidy out and have lobbed some old plates on ebay

That sort of makes sense as ZZ came off a Mazda Eunos that i mot'd back in the late,late 90's but i always thought the customer had imported it from Holland.

I know i issued the mot using the vin number and not ZZ.

LEK i found on the hard shoulder of the M20 maybe it was a dodgy fake plate fitted to a bike.

MTO 48P is a Nottingham issue of January 1976.

 

C842WLH is a London North West plate, but I can't be more exact on when it was issued other than between 1/8/1985 & 31/7/1986.

Not mine but this was taken in a museum in New Zealand.

MTO was on a Mobylette and WLH was on a BMW K100

It’s been a while, but here are some more plates for your perusal. I’d told myself enough was enough, but these were too nice and too cheap to pass up.

A very nice pair of “Wright’s” heavy pressed aluminium plates and a pair of AA GB plates.

My question, as always, is the same. What did they come off?

S(e)X(y), I’m sure you would agree.

My query to my fellow number plate perverts, what is the pedigree of SX3968? I’m unfamiliar with this older format and would like to know its age and place of origin.

Somewhat late answer...

From Glass's Index of Registration NUMBERS 1929-1965.

SX3968 was issued in 1935 by West Lothian.

As 1935 started with SX3914 and ended with SX4189 I would suggest issued in January or February.
