Could it be a french registration?

[wuvvum]

Font looks French but I've never seen a French reg in that format.  Besides, French cars are generally re-registered when they change ownership so the chances of any car still retaining its 1930s reg are very slim.

...finding out that Honda have in fact decided that if your 2017-2019 Civic is "on the list" you can have your air con condenser replaced for free 👍

That's interesting. Son had a 68 reg, bought at 11 months old. Aircon gave up the ghost very early in its life. Obviously got it done under 3 years Honda warranty and sold car last autumn.

someone in the USofA started a class action as it was a world wide problem- they got a recall i was told the warrenty has been extended on the condenser to 10 years

YY is London and starts September 1932. Very high chance it is original to the car.

The car is a regular at Goodwood. It used to be red but has recently been repainted blue.

Two things from yesterday.

i) My 90 year-old Great Uncle using his ceremonial naval sword (Commander, RNR) to cut his birthday cake.

ii) This Ford Escort on the M20 yesterday.  59 raging horsepower and the incredible* 'Encore' spec.  It's even had welding done in the last couple of years:
