That cannot be a 1964 number as all councils had to go with the year letter suffix by then. More likely a old cherished number on a new vehicle

Sorry but you are wrong, original number from new. We bought the car in 1979 and it took two years to rebuild. This is a scan from Custom Car in 1982


First registered in July 64 it still shows as SORN by the current owners (we sold in '96 to fund a house move), the last MOT expiring in 2008.

I have a number plate with three letters and one number. What is it worth? I already know.

Yes, I think you are correct.
Local councils issued these plates when they had run out of their allocation of three number and three digit plates, during the suffix transition.
This was true of other councils and are now rare and valuable.

My father, and I, rebuilt an XWD Royal Enfield in the early 70s and asked the local vehicle licencing office for an age related registration.
As they must have run out of three number and three digit allocation, we were given 7337 PP. (this was in Buckinghamshire, where the County allocation was BH, PP or KX)

Needless to say, my father was rather miffed when he sold the bike and it was stripped of the registration and it was sold off for a pretty penny.

You can put two more noughts on it and you will not be anywhere near it. Sorry.

A number of counties went to that format when they ran out of the 123 XYZ series.
I don't know why they weren't using ABC 123B by 64 though!?

Kent or areas of Kent must have had plenty to use up, as I say 64/5 on a C plate were the first of the new style registrations to be seen in the area.
Just found this online
"The last letter, in the above example A, is the 'age identifier' or 'year letter' and shows the date when the vehicle was first registered- in this case during 1963. Year letters were not compulsory until 1965, so a vehicle may have been registered during 1963 and1964 without a year letter"

That would depend on the number, and the letters. If a NI it'll be worth anywhere from 1k to high teens. Incidentally if it was an early NI plate, with two letters and a number one, it'll be 6 figures, after years of trying, that was the rumoured 'figure' my old boss paid for 1IA. (He already has IIA1 and IIA3).

A family friend has two letter two digit English plate, probably worth a few grand now, but I could guarantee he would have bought it for a couple of hundred lol.

Incidentally mgz plates are slowly dribbling onto the market
