Beaver for us a 52 means that it was made in 1952 but there was no ABS then lol. Your Landys got to be mid to late 90s right?
I see 52 on your plates, not sure if there is a connection. I guess there is a way of deciphering what 52 is, but for us non Brits a 52 means 1952
With such a fairly low mileage engine I would love to get my paws on that.

Ha ha and Oops 2002. Yes you can decipher the year but it's complicated
It's not hard really if you have the vin. I took a pic of a vin yesterday and looked up the decoding instructions, it was a piece if cake.
Nice Landy you have by the way, good luck with the sale.

Not really. Starting from 2001 British number plates had the format XX00 YYY
The Xes showed where it was first registered (not really relevant), the numbers were the six month period in which it was registered, the Ys were a serial number.
January-June '01 had 01 as the number, July-December were 51
January-June '02 were 02, July-December were 52 and so on.
Jan-Jun '10 were 10, Jul-Dec were 60
IOW, the numbers for the first six months were the same as the year, for the last six months the year plus 50. Should keep 'em going until 2049. Remember also that in the UK, the license plate stays with the vehicle for its lifetime (unless replaced by a personalised plate).

Registration numbers change in March and September, previously for letters it was September only.
March - September 01 was Y. The only time 01 was used was on the general Lee

Used to change on 1st August when there was one letter per year. However, I hadn't remembered that with the change to two letters/numbers per year in 1998, the changeover moved to September as well as March. Thanks for the reminder

True, I had forgotten that.
