: three numbers. From '63 to '83 there
: was a single suffix (year) letter,
: which became a prefix from '84 to 2001.
: The year letter is followed by or
: follows the number set.
: The last two letters denoted the county
: where the car was first registered,
: hence
: A(irelevant) DU(Coventry) X(single
: digit, irrelevant) B(1964)

: Whereas registration numbers are
: supposed to be exclusive to an
: individual car and the property of the
: State, the Triumph factory behaved as
: if they owned them and the same numbers
: appeared on various cars from time to
: time. Not a great surprise when
: competition cars are totally rebuilt
: between seasons, or even races! This
: has caused a lot of confusion as to the
: actual origin of some historic cars!
