But A suffix only started in 63, and A55 had been replaced by A60 a few months earlier. My guess is maybe a showroom orphan first registered late in Dec 61, then re-registered with new number in 63 for whatever reason.
dsl ◊ 2023-09-15 23:59	As this A55 has solid plate info, merging all the fake plate A55s here (unless they're the black one). Generic date range Jan 59 to Sept 61. - Ep. 12.23, 00:16:41, 3 We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided LEYLAND ROADRUNNER 8.13 1990 Registration number: 605 CLX Body type: Motor Home/Caravan Colour: White Date of first registration: June 1990 - Ep.09.08, 00:01:02, 3 698 CUV was 1961 Vanden Plas 3-Litre - also used as a film plate on this Bentley S1 -- Last edit: 2023-09-26 19:48:05

Something odd there: DVLA have the car down as first registered in 1961, which steers one away from thinking it may be a re-registration, and yet my point of reference shows the AAO suffix-series as being "B" and not "A"?
dsl ◊ 2023-09-27 19:01	^ Agree - AAO with B was Cumberland, March-April 64, so that's a second quirk. DVLA info for re-regs is often inconsistent - sometimes giving a plausible date for when originally made, or sometimes simply repeating the date it got its "new plate". But picture and 1489cc are 59-61 car.
