It seems , from a google search, that the number plate CR 1 has some significant history attached to it ....
"Another interesting plate from the initial series of registrations was Y 1. This was acquired by Arthur Thring, who by "coincidence" happened to be the person (First Parliamentary Counsel) responsible for drafting the Registration Act. The first transfer of a registration from one vehicle to another was on 3rd March 1904, when Dr.Robert Lauder of Southampton, transferred the registration CR 1 from a 5hp Kimberley car to an 11hp Clement"
I guess we can rule out it still being in the hands of the good doctor now though .... o:)
