In those days private number plates hadn't become fashionable.
You either got what was offered out of a group of the upto date registrations or asked for one to be reserved when it was due.
I remember being offered any from group of fifty but non meant anything, they were just what was due for issue.
A friend was the same, she took LHG 602 on anew Ford Prefect in 1962. It meant nothing but 600 and 601 had gone so she just took the next.
I wanted. RU55ELL but it went for £60 grand when it went on DVLA auction.
I seem to remember John C Bamford reserving a block of JCB 1 to 20 and some of the JCB fleet of vehicles still have them. My mate drove one of the delivery lorries with JCB 9 in late 60,s.
