About 131 L

Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The L index mark traces back to Glamorganshire, now associated with South Wales. This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 4 characters, 131 L is shorter than most registrations in this era.
