Gentlemen,
I'm forced to give my age away here, but I have to 'fess up to the fact that I never got to grips with the 'new' system of number plates in the UK, having left shortly after it was introduced. I'm still in the era of suffixes. So a car with a C suffix is instantly recognisable to me as
1965 or thereabouts; F is 1967; N is 1975 and so on (approx anyway) I know 'em all. Then they went to prefixes when suffixes were used up (of which I know FA) and then some other system with two digits in the middle of which I know even less than nothing. Can some kind soul clue me up as to what a "57 plate" car is with some other examples to get me in the picture and bring me up to date, please? TIA
