We had a number turn up in Cambridge on originally N-registered double
deckers for Park and Ride Services a few years ago. The plates concealed
that the "new" buses were older than the similar spec P-reg vehicles

I can see how the old numbers could be of value to individuals, eg the
number for RM50 might be nice for the car given to Victor Leonard
Thompson on his 50th birthday or something. I can't really see the
point of using them on other buses.
