    Stuart Henderson's point about not seeing R 4????? numbers seems to be backed up by Colin Hawken (R 510709) and Fred Lacey(R 525985)both from 1949 which were issued 2 years after R 396040. Any R 4????? numbers out there?

    Mick O'Brien's number UK 018117 from 1974 tallies with Doc Vernon's thought that the change from the R prefix to the UK prefix took place in 1972.
    Is there anyone with a number issued in the 1968-72 period ?

    thanks again for the help

    Mine was R88**** issued in Feb 1970. I recall a few after me had R89 numbers, and possibly there were a sprinkling of R9's before the change to the UK numbers
