Apologies that this isn't the best photo ever posted to this website (it's taken from the upper deck of a bus on which I was travelling!), but yesterday morning, I passed a Porsche Taycan in traffic on the outskirts of Preston, bearing they registration '2L'. Picture (my own) below.

Better be a two litre engine ?.

DK1 was the equivalent in Rochdale (mayor's car). Had a ride in it in 1975 when the plates were on an old Daimler limousine.
We had DH1 in Walsall similarly
Didn't realise it had retired to Mulhouse though !!

EDIT
Reading the text, it appears F1 and 1F were registered in Essex

Saw that same car again recently, red, blank registration.

That's got to be the winner for shortest?
