Rochdale for instance (DK) and Oldham (BU) were never troubled with shortages of registrations, one because they were relatively small licensing authorities but more likely that fewer people could afford new cars in these areas. It is very rare to see an old car with a DK mark now.

Rochdale were one of those authorities who issued seperate blocks for motorcycles. My source shows 250ADK being the last issue for two-wheelers, be nice if that went on a Norton Jubilee or BSA C15!

Fascinating stuff, the numbers game.

I didn't even haggle the price although he did knock a couple of hundred off for me.
Failed mot today. All brake pipes corroded and an advisory for play in the steering rack.

Not my problem. He's paying for it. He did apologise though?
