From observation of our cars on the road I always reckoned as a rough rule;
up to T reg Speke
V to W reg Canley
X reg Solihull
Y reg and onwards, Solihill leftovers of which I saw plenty sitting on the books of Henlys wholesale dept in summer 1981.
It doesn't surprise me that some cars weren't registered until well after manufacture since loads of BL cars with delivery dings or paint defects sat for months on end there awaiting rectification, including 7's. Plenty of our cars were on the books unsold for ages anyway.
I remember seeing a couple of A reg 7's around North London at the time. I'd heard of a B but never seen it.
