Thank you, Sarah,
I am trying to build the provenance of the plates.
We know the owner - my wife's late brother.
We have a photo of the car but only a side view - which does not show the
registration plates.
Ideally we want to link the plates to the car and/or owner.
A friend coined a word for this detective work: "carcheology".
Cheers

According to the list in my 1952 ed. of the RAC Guide & Handbook, marks
ending in "GT" were issued by the London County Council - but that's all I
can tell you. (Apparently, when they ran out of numbers to use with the
2-letter prefix, an initial letter was added; anybody know when they got to
letter "D"?)

I have a set of plates that were on a Mk1 Jaguar imported to New Zealand in
the sixties.
The number is 600 DGT
I believe it may have been issued in the greater London area around 1958.
Can any of you British listers help me identify it?

Thanks Peter,
As you will have seen in my reply to Sarah, we know the car and its owner.
He was my late brother-in-law.
What I want to establish with 100% certainty is that the registration plate=
s
did come off that Jaguar.
We have been trying to find family correspondence to confirm the number, bu=
t
so far have drawn a blank.
We have a photos of it unloaded off the ship in Wellington, but they are
side views and the plates cannot be seen.
I thought the car may have originally been registered in Cheshire, but
south-west London makes more sense as that is where he lived at the time.
Thanks for your constructive help.
Cheers
Mark

Subject: Re: [Healeys] British registration number plate
Mark,
I don't really understand the question. Are you looking to identify the car=
?
or
the owner? or what? or perhaps, as Sarah has implied, the general area of
issue.
FWIW in the UK the licence plate in effect uniquely identifies the vehicle
in
the records of the vehicle licencing authority at the time (presently DVLA)=
.
It
does not carry ownership information which is kept private within DVLA
records.
Of course we know the identity of some owners of special cars (eg DD300) bu=
t
that isn't unambiguous - see discussions on these pages over many years.
Therefore there is only a slim chance that your plate's owner(s) can be
identified.
The London County Council was the umbrella council for the whole of the
London
metropolitan area up to the mid '60s when it was replaced by the Grater
London
Council. According to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_the_United_Kin=
g
dom,_Crown_dependencies_and_overseas_territories#Older_plates
GT corresponds to a South West London issue (not necessarily where the owne=
r
lived).
My guess is that the letters were issued as and when they were needed, not
on
any particular timescale, as they were from '63 on when the coding system
changed. It is quite possible that they were issued either randomly or, mor=
e
probably, on a first-come first-served basis.
Strictly all that can be said is that the registration was issued between
about
1953 and later '62. Since the Mk1 was produced between 1952 and 1959 we can
narrow this down a bit, to 1953 - 1959, probably later in the run. Bear in
mind
too that cars weren't always registered as soon as they were built.
Hope that this helps,
Peter Dzwig

Thanks Dave,
I tries something similar and found several engines, some with different co=
lors and almost all from the same angle in which I could not see the starte=

ndenser with the coil which I could not verify.

Originally, those parts were all engine green, The bracket that holds the =

Subject: [Healeys] British registration number plate<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I have a set of plates that were on a Mk1 Jaguar imported to New Zealand in=
<br>
the sixties.<br>
<br>
The number is 600 DGT<br>
<br>
I believe it may have been issued in the greater London area around 1958.<b=
r>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Can any of you British listers help me identify it?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

Thanks Peter,<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
As you will have seen in my reply to Sarah, we know the car and its owner.<=
br>
He was my late brother-in-law.<br>
<br>
What I want to establish with 100% certainty is that the registration plate=
s<br>
did come off that Jaguar.<br>
<br>
We have been trying to find family correspondence to confirm the number, bu=
t<br>
so far have drawn a blank.<br>
<br>
We have a photos of it unloaded off the ship in Wellington, but they are<br=
>
side views and the plates cannot be seen.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I thought the car may have originally been registered in Cheshire, but<br>
south-west London makes more sense as that is where he lived at the time.<b=
r>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks for your constructive help.<br>
<br>
<br>

Mark,<br>

I don't really understand the question. Are you looking to identify the car=
?<br>
or<br>
<br>
the owner? or what? or perhaps, as Sarah has implied, the general area of<b=
r>
issue.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
FWIW in the UK the licence plate in effect uniquely identifies the vehicle<=
br>
in<br>
<br>
the records of the vehicle licencing authority at the time (presently DVLA)=
.<br>
It<br>
<br>
does not carry ownership information which is kept private within DVLA<br>
records.<br>
<br>
Of course we know the identity of some owners of special cars (eg DD300) bu=
t<br>
<br>
that isn't unambiguous - see discussions on these pages over many years.<br=
>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Therefore there is only a slim chance that your plate's owner(s) can be<br>
identified.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The London County Council was the umbrella council for the whole of the<br>
London<br>
<br>
metropolitan area up to the mid '60s when it was replaced by the Grater<br>
London<br>
<br>
Council. According to<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href=3D"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_the=
_United_King">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_registration_plates_of_=
the_United_King</a><br>
dom,_Crown_dependencies_and_overseas_territories#Older_plates<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
GT corresponds to a South West London issue (not necessarily where the owne=
r<br>
lived).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
My guess is that the letters were issued as and when they were needed, not<=
br>
on<br>
<br>
any particular timescale, as they were from '63 on when the coding system<b=
r>
<br>
changed. It is quite possible that they were issued either randomly or, mor=
e<br>
<br>
probably, on a first-come first-served basis.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Strictly all that can be said is that the registration was issued between<b=
r>
about<br>
<br>
1953 and later '62. Since the Mk1 was produced between 1952 and 1959 we can=
<br>
<br>
narrow this down a bit, to 1953 - 1959, probably later in the run. Bear in<=
br>
mind<br>
<br>
too that cars weren't always registered as soon as they were built.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Hope that this helps,<br>
<br>

Thanks Dave,<br>
I tries something similar and found several engines, some with different co=
lors and almost all from the same angle in which I could not see the starte=
r or the oil filter. I also used that technique to see if the cars had a co=
ndenser with the coil which I could
not verify.<br>
