Welcome to the Website for the Potteries branch of the Morris Minor Owners Club

Registration plates were first issued in 1903. Various formats have been used over the years.

It should be noted that not every area changed over to the new system until all the current combinations had been used.

From 1st Jan 1963 year identifiers were included in registration numbers. Here is a list of the years and the formats:

Year Suffix	From	To		Year Prefix	From	To		Year Digits	From	To
