About 81 AK

Reverse dateless plates place the numbers before the original local index letters, so the registration carries local authority provenance without a year marker. The AK index mark traces back to Bradford, now associated with West Yorkshire. This reverse sequence was issued from the 1950s onwards as earlier dateless runs became exhausted. At 4 characters, 81 AK is shorter than most registrations in this era.
