Why is it that 03/53-registered examples are numbered 220xx as an example, whereas T-reg and other pre-2000 examples are 222xx and 226xx. Also; some of the 223xx and 224xx batch are as new as 2005 and 2006. Anybody able to explain it to me? Nothing appears to be in order, in terms of age and the registrations of the vehicles.

The Olympians are the same as above, 14669-73 were originally 669-73 as shown on reg plates and the prefix given was 14 similar to 22xxx for ALX300. The ex-Hull were given 170xx as opposed to 178xx, the driver trainers all fit into this old number thing and the ALX200's became 33101etc instead of 31101etc.
