K x plates were originally issued by Liverpool County Council, all x K plates were issued by the same council in 1960

By close of business on 2nd January 1904 Liverpool County Council had registered 113 cars and 96 motorcycles.

K 1, originally issued to Anthony Lester of Toxteth, whose father designed the extension to Liverpool docks in 1877 (a then 4M project).

In 1966 it was owned by Sir William Esplen who was then trying to sell the plate.

Until recently it was on a 1982 Rolls Royce Corniche from new (covering less than 3,000 miles) when in 2018 it was purchased by Saj Iqbal who lives in Berkshire who then displayed it on his Porsche Macan.

The photo of it on the Porsche Macan is a bit special, K 1 returns home to Liverpool Council Town Hall where the plate was issued over 115 years previously.

Saj also liked taking pictures of K 1 parked next to another 1x1, please check out the Pairs section.

In 2021 it was sold to Henry Simmons Snr of London, he placed it on his Rolls Royce that previously wore H 3.

K 2 originally issued to George Hepburn of Southbank. In 1966 it was owned by Voss Motors of Liverpool, between then and 1973 Noel Woodhall bought it.

Now owned by Ken Barley of North Yorkshire who has owned it since 1973 when he swapped it for W 3 with Noel

4 K. There is a bit of a myth surrounding the picture of Simon Ward shown with the plate on his Morris Marina in that he bought the plate on a Morris Minor for 90 from someone who didn't know the value of the plate. Prior to that picture the plate was known to be owned by Edgar Ward of Wolverhampton in 1974. Edgar certainly knew the value of these plates as he owned at least three other valuable plates

Now owned by Afzal Kahn
