The NSW plate you found dates from 1937 to 51

In 1937, letters in numberplates were first introduced, using a AA-000 to ZZ-999 series. This ran until 1951 with the "NSW" insert on the top of the plate. It is the beginning of Page embossed dies.

It could also be from a motor bike ... throws a spanner into it .

Bob that is a nice car, the one Grandfather drove had springs the full length of the chassis. I saw a restored one in the Birdwood museum 17 years ago.
I know it's shoddy work Howard but the ute is only used to drive from the house to the bus stop and is restricted to 20kph.
