This was superseded in the Republic of Ireland in 1987, but remains in use in Northern Ireland. Each administrative county was allocated a 2-letter code, with plates having formats "CC SSSS", "LCC SSS", "SSSS CC", "SSS LCC" or (currently in Northern Ireland) "LCC SSSS", where CC is the county code, L a sequence letter and SSS/SSSS a sequence number of up 3/4 digits. When all combinations for a county were exhausted, a new 2-letter code was allocated (chiefly to Dublin and Belfast which had the most cars). All codes contained either I or Z, to avoid clashing with other British codes. Originally, plates had white or silver letters on a black background. Later this was changed to black-on-white at the front and black-on-red at the back (black-on-yellow in Northern Ireland). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_vehicle_registration_plates#History -- Last edit: 2007-08-20 01:01:02

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2021-06-11 20:43	Problem with mascots on old cars is that many of them don’t have any relationship to the make of car, just bought because the owner fancied it on his radiator cap. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301145743207 That’s why Royce’s got Miss Thornton to pose for the Spirit of Ecstacy. -- Last edit: 2021-06-11 20:48:54
