Not sure what kind of plates they are (old style UK ones?), but they are the strangest plates I’ve photographed so far for my new OCD hobby: 63plates.com

Yup, DB6. Weird that it has the old-style UK plates.
So if it is a UK plate, that’s the farthest that I’ve photographed so far (though I did see some German EU plates a few months ago, I didn’t have a camera on me).
There was a truck with Puerto Rico plates at Rushbrook a few days ago too:
Here’s one from North Scottsdale, Arizona. Love that area by the way, especially the Camelback Mountain exit on the 101 Loop. My task bar is saying that its a nice 100 degrees there right now.

The year is basically the single letter, so in the case its what we call a ‘J Reg’. And because its at the right side of the plate, its registered between 1963 and 1983… Obviously, thats not 26 letters, but some arent used (Q and I for example). Then its just a case of counting the years.
Anything after 1983 has the letter at the beginning of the plate, and anything after 2001 has 2 letters which also signifies the regions, and 2 numbers denoting the half of the year it was purchased. So my old car started WL51, so South West England and the first half of 2001, WL01 would be the second half…
Its more difficult to tell areas before that. You find that some sets of letters appear in one region, but unless you come from that region and see them a lot, you would never now!
