WRONG!!!! the H indicates Aug 69 to July 70. Haven't a clue what region YK
indicates, but if no-one else knows, I'll have a look in a mag that recently
ran an article on registration plates, thats if you REALLY want to know!!! :-)

They changed to used yellow plates on the back from sometime in 71 I think! or
it may have been anytime up to 73, I can't remember, I was only 3 in 73!!!!
That ain't got the same ring to it as American Grafitti eh!!! Where were you
in '62???? :-)
