I used to have an excellent little book which listed all places of UK Car Registrations. Ie XOO, OVW,BJN etc etc are Essex issue, WYT , is London etc.

The last 2 Letters , ie VW being the issueing County.

I Spy, also did a similar book , but not as detailed.

Anyone tell me where RLT ( Liverpool ? ) and LHH originate from ?

Thanks in advance.

Just looking at the link above.
The last 3 letters of my pre 2001 car are CSF. Does that mean it was originally registered in Edinburgh?

Oh yes...

And if you look at the Chitty thread, it seems it was originally registered in my home town of Bury.

Never seen it round here though, probably wouldn't survive the potholes.
