Number plate supplies for Manchester
Greater Manchester · England
Manchester and Merseyside share the M memory tag, issued through the Manchester office. A workshop anywhere in Greater Manchester will get through more M characters than any other letter, with P from Preston appearing on vehicles from further north.
Registration letters issued here
M (Manchester and Merseyside), with P from Preston and Y from Yorkshire over the Pennines
M covers both Manchester and Merseyside issuing, which makes it one of the busiest single letters in the north west.
Cross-Pennine trade means Yorkshire's Y tag turns up more often here than the geography alone suggests.
High rainfall makes careful fitting matter — a character applied to a damp blank fails far sooner, which is why our fitting guide starts with preparation.
