MOTOR VEHICLE INDEX MARKS in UK

MOTOR VEHICLE INDEX MARKS AND SURVIVING REGISTERS: "The listing can be used to identify whether the original local authority registration registers and/or card indexes still exist.

Registers vary considerably in the information recorded with some giving the machine, engine and frame numbers, the date of registration and the name of the supplier and first owner down to the registration date and the vehicle excise category such as Bicycle, Private or Goods. The identity letters are the last two letters on a three letter plate."
