They are the year of registration, up to 2001 each 'year' (from aug of one year to july of the next, which is why I said 1985 ish), starting back in 1962, which in those days was jan-dec, this changed in 1967 when there was E reg jan-jul then F reg aug-jul 1968. The letters O, I and Z weren't used as they looked like numbers, and Q was skipped too, to be used as a 'yearless reg'. The first 'alphabet' of regs were at the right end of the number plate, when we got to Y it chnged to the left end of the plate, until Y was reached again and we started with 51 and 01 in the middle for the year 2001. We now have two registrations a year, in march and september.
