England

photographs taken in the United Kingdom unless otherwise stated

This page includes photographs of registrations which are most likely cherished numbers, where the geographical location and age identifier may not specify where that specific vehicle is from, or how old it is. I have tried to guess which ones are personalised and have made a note of it in the captions.

Front plates are white, rear plates are yellow. Photos are shown in chronological order with the newest registrations first.
