The S***OVP reg. series went from S525 OVP - S548 OVP and S525 is the only one that is still around as all the rest of them were crushed or crash tested by MGR. She is a real survivor!

Great minds I have just copied the OVP info over

I think it 's quite unusual to have such a large matching sequence of plates to one car.
I did have a Mondeo - which was in a sequence of 12 - all Ghia X hatchbacks(and my one was not originally a huge PLC fleet order but first owner was a small building firm)

Could have been in a batch that Ford pre-registered to keep sales figures up. They were good at that sort of thing.

Yes could be- although i have never come across such a exact sequence even with volume sellers (sad i know but i do check these things)

Just had a look at the original of the pic with the red MG in the foreground, and the registration of the white 75 is definitely 'S525...' Can't see the rest, sadly.

Back in the early '80s I worked for an Epos company and we had a whole fleet of white Fiestas A7nnJRU sequentially numbered. Spread over 3 regional offices, I think there were 18 or 20 cars. I had A775JRU. Replaced 2 years later with Escorts in the sequence C2nnPDP in similar volume. We used to get a few pre-reg Fords, usually at model year change as FMC were practically giving them away.
