Hi Oily, Colin Carruthers is based at Oulton a village three miles from me, his daughter Sharon who drives one of her dads Volvos used to travel to school everyday on the school bus I operated into Wigton school from that district for 18 years.
Cheers, Leyland 600.

Question - I was always under the impression that a new reg plate started on 1st August e.g. M reg was 1st August 1973 through until 31st July 1974

So with that in mind, how was I riding in this Leyland Chieftain on Silver Jubilee Day 7th June 1977 when S plates would have started on 1st August 1977?

PS - she looked a lot better on Jubilee Day as a brand new wagon

Wrong… they started in 63 with ‘A’ then in 67 they decided to start it in August as it would be better for car sales, so ‘E’ only ran for 6 months.
