I thought this was probably worth a separate thread.
"S1" is probably quite a rare sighting, and I'd be interested to see if that registration mark is still on the go.
When I was younger, I used to see "AS2" - an Inverness allocation, going around. One would expect such a plate to be on a high-end vehicle such as a Rolls, Bentley or perhaps even a "supercar", but no; it adorned an Austin Maestro! I can only assume that it was inherited by someone who realised the value of retaining such a plate!
Another one that puzzled me was "RG0". When I lived in Aberdeen it was on a Daimler DS420 limousine that was used by the Lord Provost of the city - I didn't think that it was possible to have a zero in a number plate until then (any explanation for this would be welcome).
Less exotic but in Oban, Scotland in summer 1974 "S1". Explained to me as the first vehicle registration number registered in Scotland. Very soon after that I got absorbed by railways.
