In fact London started on suffixes in 1964, with "B". Middlesex
used "A" suffixes from 1963, together with Staffordshire and certain
others which ran out of reversed registrations in that year.

Middlesex and Staffordshire were the first authorities to use
reversed registrations, with "H" and "E" respectively, in 1953.

True but A suffixes have since been applied for re-registration of
all vehicles from 1957 to 1963. In London application of B suffixes
only started part way through 1964.

As I recall, those that ran out of reversed registrations started on
"B" at that point, and then everybody switched when the "C" year
began.

If you say so. I thought everyone switched during the "B" year.

Some authorities were still on 2-letter forward registrations at that
stage. At least a couple of the Welsh counties were.

And some Scots surely?
