About 816 BEN
Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The EN index mark traces back to Bury, now associated with Greater Manchester. This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 6 characters, 816 BEN is a standard-length registration for this era.
