Brian,
As someone else said, registration was on a county/borough level. Some
county record offices have details of motor vehicle registrations - e.g.
Lancashire RO has some early ones for Blackburn (1903-5), Burnley (1904-20)
and Preston (1904-39).
I have an old RAC Handbook which gives the letter codes for the various
counties/boroughs - so could let you know which RO to contact.
