When I sold a car the customer could pick a number off the sheet, this was detached & stapled onto the V55/1 where the registration mark box was.
At the end of each month we returned any unused numbers - this avoided a number being duplicated or pinched by another dealership.

Thats how it was when I used to register new cars at Maidstone LVLO for Kent and Brighton for Sussex. We used to pick up a sheet of 50 numbers at a time, let the customer choose, and stick to V55/5. We used to keep the best numbers for all our demonstrators 😊😊😊😊

I think it might have been V55/5 not V55/1 Julie I'm trying to remember form numbers from 50 years ago mostly done online these days by new car traders.

These days it's a V55/4 for new car registrations Ted but I had to look on DVLA to find that out. It was a lifetime ago so maybe it was V55/4 even back then.

V55/5 sound about right to me for back then Julie, V55/1 I think with hindsight we used to put UK numbers on Jersey Imports.

I can remember the perforated tags but we didnt have to attach them just write the on v55/whatever, always remember the two fsiedx flying bananas in one crate where i built and pdi'd one and the boss the other, 6 months later came in for service together and both had same reg! The boss got his wrong, luckily the v5's were correct it was only the no plate, thank god for stick on number number plates!
