About FPS 5

Dateless registrations avoid an obvious vehicle age marker, which can make short combinations more flexible across prestige vehicles and long-term private ownership. The PS index mark traces back to Zetland (Shetland), now associated with Scotland. At 4 characters, FPS 5 is shorter than most registrations in this era.
