DBHxxxB was issued August & September 1964, followed by EBHxxxB in October 1964. They were Buckinghamshire issues, and the county town is Aylesbury. (Luton is in Bedfordshire and issued "XD" registrations.)

Not according to https://www.car.co.uk/media/guides/number-plates/uk-number-plate-area-codes#DVLA_old_area_codes

The problem is that various local authorities were issued with registration codes which were only used for a short time. For example Solihull had XC (I had VXC307N) but I can't find mention of that! I think it was only for a couple of years. Also some authorities issues registrations for nearby towns - not necessarily in the same county.

Edit: https://www.drivearchive.co.uk/regcodes.htm seems more accurate and does list Solihull (used for 10 years)! It lists BH as Buckinghamshire - Luton and BM as Bedfordshire - Luton. XD is listed as London.

So I've come to the conclusion Lyn that I can't say for definite where the car was registered - final answer!!!!!
