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
Mark Donaldson

Subject: Re: [Healeys] British registration number plate
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"?)

Subject: [Healeys] British registration number plate
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?
Cheers
