Over the years there have been a number of books dedicated to the fascinating world of numberplates. ranging from definitive listings of number plate issue dates, numberplate spacing and auction prices - to who owns what and diplomatic numberplates.
Of all the numberplate books to have been published, Car Numbers published by Noel Woodall is the best know and Mr. Woodall was the first to coin the phrase autonumerology and in doing so became the world's first autonumerologist.
After some research, Noel compiled an introductory history of British car number plates. Additionally, he wrote a comprehensive feature on the legendary number A1.
Noel's book featured a record of the various registration codes and the geographical areas to which they applied; This enabled readers to identify where in the UK specific cars were originally registered.
It's interesting to note that many of the coveted number 1 registration plates were registered to mayoral vehicles which were owned by local councils.
Examples of these included FV 1, BK 1, and TR 1 which were registered in Blackpool, Portsmouth and Southampton respectively.
