Since 2001 the format XXNN AAA has been used Where XX is the area where the car was registered

from 1984 to 2001 they where of the form X NNN AAA where X reprsented the motor year (starting on 1st august)

before 1984 they where of the form AAA NNN X where first 2 A's of AAA represented the are they where registered.

Before that they started A 1 and went up to ZZZ 9999 (in theory) I don't think the letters had significance.

This is al from memory so tread lightly pedants!
