Because they had run out of numbers in 1963, they changed the sequence of the
letters/numbers. '63 got the suffix "A." Each year then got the next letter
for a suffix. So "R" would be the 18th year or 1980. The OOM is where it
was registered. I don't know that one. The 513 means it was the 513th car
registered in the place where OOM was used.
Remember that the UK plates/registration is a "Federal" registration, not
like the US where the states do it.
