► Can you remember the registration number of your very first car? Mine was 484 KOG, and it was an Austin A35 van. That was replaced by Mk2 Cortina estate NAP 278F which in turn was replaced by Fiat 128 NDY 687K. Then there was Austin Maxi LUR 547L, after which my love of the BMC Farina range started with an Austin Cambridge A55 Mk2 YFN 464, followed by A60 JYF 405D, and then Morris Oxford LJJ 39D. And so on…
Anyway, the point I’m making is that all these numbers were very, very memorable. Exactly the same applies to the current classic
