Netherlands is correct.
They introduced countrywide registration in April 1898. Although the first registrations in parts of France had started in 1893 it didn't become nationwide until September 1901.

That song (like many others) was used in an car advert. In the song in question the advert was part of the lyrics.

Again that was just used in an advert but in the song in question the advert was part of the lyrics. Also In the City was a B side.

Coming from Middlesbrough, I would imagine that he would be aware of them in his youth. Perhaps he went spotting at Darlington?
