1960 honda cb72 on ebay

[GORDON BROWN]

Hello everyone

Just to complicate matters I know some, but as far as I know not all Scottish counties did not use the A plates. I have a 63 CB72 ( 31**** ) with a 3&3 reg.no.
Unlike now, at the time I tried to get the original plate and they would only give me a TSU no. I think they had a batch of these unused as I see them on a lot of older restored vehicles this was in 1989. Now it seems a lot easier to either retain a plate or get a
"age related" one.
Still as they say I wish I knew then what I have forgotten now.

This list is usually pretty good. Shows YUR was used in 1957......

That would be YUR before the number [YUR ???] issued between Nov 55 & Dec 55
The CB72 is [171 YUR]

Thanks GORDON BROWN I had forgotten about the 63 licence change, although I believe very few authorities used the A most waiting until 64 with B.

The book I use was given to us for MOT purposes back in 50/60's.

The licence plate is incidental now we know the DVLA is involved, I have no faith in them, anyone here lost their motorcycle licence thanks to them?

Dundee were still using the old series in mid 1964....

(HI Alan, the first 4 numbers are CB726331/CB72E3124 )
frame cb72-63-31xxxx , engine cb72e 3124, .

Sounds sensible.

My '60 Dream has the year in the frame number like that.

That's a great piece of information Graham, pity the same isn't available in other areas.

Burton where I live didn't start using the B until later in 1964, and I think Derby started on Jan 1st 1964, so much for standardization.
