Where is registration number A1? - Dave_TD

From this week's local paper:

A1 number plate search

A historic car number plate once owned by a former Earl Russell has gone missing.

The 'A1' plate was the first London number plate and is worth half a million pounds.

'A1' was registered in 1903 and the earl was its first owner using it on his Napier car.

Now the Retail Motor Industry Federation wants to find it for this year's centenary celebrations of UK car registrations.

The Federation, along with the Cherished Number Dealers Association (CNDA), would like to display it at a centenary rally to be held at Woburn Abbey on May 18.

Federation spokesman Alistair Manson said: "No-one knows exactly what has happened to 'A1'.

"Its last known owner was Dunlop Holdings Ltd. Since the company was taken over the registration seems to have fallen between the cracks, and disappeared.

"If anyone knows what has happened to 'A1', they should get in contact with the Cherished Number Dealers Association on 01788 538301.

Alternatively, they could bring it to the CNDA centenary rally at Woburn Abbey in May."
