About 1988 AB

Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The AB index mark traces back to Worcestershire. This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 6 characters, 1988 AB is a standard-length registration for this era.
