Past my test in a Triumph Herald, it was quite a strange experience because I had a driving test assessor in the rear seat assessing the competence of the examiner

The registration number BD 40 is still in use. It's on a Jaaaag now ;)
I don't imagine it was original on that Mini either - probably quite a bit earlier and transferred to it.

That reg was issued between 1903 and 1924, and being a low number would suggest probably Edwardian.
