About SOP 8

Dateless registrations avoid an obvious vehicle age marker, which can make short combinations more flexible across prestige vehicles and long-term private ownership. The OP index mark traces back to Birmingham, now associated with West Midlands. At 4 characters, SOP 8 is shorter than most registrations in this era.
