About 18 BBA
Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The BA index mark traces back to Salford, now associated with Greater Manchester. This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 5 characters, 18 BBA is shorter than most registrations in this era.
