About 1997 EM
Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The EM index mark traces back to Bootle, now associated with Merseyside. This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 6 characters, 1997 EM is a standard-length registration for this era.
