By close of business on 2nd January 1904 Cheshire County Council had registered 143 cars and 76 motorcycles.

M 1 was originally issued on 14th December 1903 to Maurice Egerton of Rosthere Manor, Knutsford, who later became the 4th Baron Egerton of Tatton. He had it placed on his green Darracq Tonneau. He travelled and had planned to settle in Africa but returned to the UK in the 1920's. In 1924 he bought a 1900 Benz and had it restoed and it was this car he transferred M 1 to and it remained part of the estate until it was sold at Bonhams in 2006 for £331,500, the proceeds of which went towards the upkeep of Tatton Park. Before the 2006 sale, the plate had been on the same vehicle for 80 years, a 1900 Benz. It was bought at auction by Michael McCoomb of Cheshire as a present for his then 6 year old son.
