There seem to be at least three groups of earlier frame numbers in the UK: 120s, 250s and 500s, but the numbers don't seem to relate to when they were registered. There are also some extra ones that arrived from Japan in later years.
They don't seem to have been very particular about stock control in '93,
A bit of digging has confirmed that the "Independent Importer" was Moto Cinelli, so that's as official as they came back then.
I don't think it's the oldest though and am waiting to see who else comes forwards........
