zodiac ◊ 2014-05-11 12:54	Was a short registration number expensive in those days as well?
chris40 ◊ 2014-05-11 16:39	Indeed, although it was probably a matter of person-to-person negotiation or locating a scrapper. AFAIK there weren't the businesses selling registrations in those days.

I think you could approach the local issuing office for that combination and ask for a specific number as long as it had not been issued, or maybe reserve a forthcoming combination in advance. Things were not centralised with DVLA until late in 1970s, so there were local arrangements.

electra225 ◊ 2014-05-11 18:42	I am sure it is a Canadian Parisienne: No wide track.
