About 38 VB

Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The VB index mark traces back to Croydon, now associated with London. This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 4 characters, 38 VB is shorter than most registrations in this era.
