Could extend it to identify the county of the numberplates?
When I was a young fella, a knowledge of the old country registration scheme was considered essential!
There were a few traps for the unwary; ZA was Dublin while ZB was Cork, but ZC was back to Dublin again.
Then, as an extra letter was added to to many counties, we anticipated the sniggering that would result when Leitrim (IT) would eventually reach TIT. Sadly that county’s car sales meant it would never come close before the present system was introduced.
There’s a very comprehensive listing here:

Watching that Maze film on Saturday night I got a flashback to my youth when the lads escaped in an old Westmeath reg car (LI).
Of the 8 cars left to right, 5 are 2 door. Wouldn’t be seen very often now. The Ford Anglia/Popular is a long way from Ipswich.
All North and South registrations had either an I or a Z in them,
