About 1996 CT
Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The CT index mark traces back to Lincolnshire (Kesteven). This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 6 characters, 1996 CT is a standard-length registration for this era.
