I'd say with only 2 cars its impossible not to park them in numerical order.....

But Shirley the question is in which order?

Well - if you want to be a pedant - which you clearly do - then yes
but - to be more clear - these were in numeric order to the stream of people walking past
people winding their way through the car park would see them in descending order left to right - which is - as you point out - still numeric order
and - to be complete - when I say numeric order I mean ascending order from left to right
and not some foreign right to left mode (does Arabic go right to left for numbers????? - I assume it does
and yes - it did use Arabic numbering system - just to annoy people who get annoyed by that phrase)
any more question??
Yes it was.
Steve Parish sold it after his divorce. His wife didn't like it. He still uses 60CK though.

Well if it was, it has been removed. According to the MOT check site there is no vehicle with that registration.

The plate above is currently on a 2019 Range Rover HSE 3.0
I'm not sure who's registered it correctly as our reg lookup has it as (six) OCK and the GOV MOT site have it as (sixty) CK

Yes in Leeds. I didn’t have time to look at the rear of the car so didn’t clock the make. At the time I thought the styling was reminiscent of a large exec saloon from Kia or Hyundai. Unfamiliar with the S90 so Googled it after reading an earlier post and realised it was probably that. I noticed it as I always understood it was on the mayoral car and the look of the car didn’t fit somehow.

The 60 CK looks correct to me because you can't have an O in a number plate.

A friend of mine has a number plate starting RO though?
(apparently means it originally came from Reading)

Except the 'Arabic numbers' were invented in India. Europe referred to them as Arabic because traders in places like Florence saw Arab traders* using them and adopted them as they were better for calculations than Roman ones. The then pope had a go at banning them as his tax inspectors didn't understand them and the trading houses had two sets of books, the Roman numeral ones weren't as 'correct' as the Arabic ones with respect to tax!
*Presumably having traded in India.
