Martin, that's not correct. The registration letters go like this:
3 letters, 3 numbers - Up until 1950s except in regions with slow sales.
3 numbers, 3 letters - 1950s, to 1962 (up to 1965 in some regions). Some
councils ran out of these, too, and adopted the 1234 AB format - some
still issuing single letter suffixes (i.e. 1234 A).
Some regions had plenty of 3/3 format numbers - other regions adopted
A-suffix (ABC 123A) registrations with the year identifier in 1962. By
1965 (C) this was compulsory
Initially the plate change co-incided with the year change - January to
December, until 1967 'E', which applied from Jan 1st 1967 to July 31st
1967.
Prefix numbers applied from 1983, when all usable letters of the
alphabet had been taken, up until 'S' registration when the decision to
use up the remaining letters to introduce the new format was taken, also
to create 2 changes during the year to encourage sales. 'T' was the
first of these 'six month' registrations, from the 1st March to 31st
August '99. In 2001, 'Y' was issued and after that the AB51 ABC format
was adopted.
Weirdly, I'm sure I've posted this before ;)
