LDear Stuart
Not the same number , but the same registration area.
“BF” for Dorsetshire was withdrawn in 1904, as the 100 or
so toffs in the County, were fed up with the peasants calling
them “ Bloody Fools” so they petitioned Parliament and most
swapped their numbers for an”FX” Mark
In 1921 BF was actually banned.
It was only when DVLA started to issue
Age related marks and when they ran out
Of other sequences they decided to start issuing
BF after a gap of over 100 years!
